Marlies Wester is a Registered Provisional Psychologist specializing in trauma-informed therapy for children, teens, adults, and couples. She works with clients navigating the effects of past and ongoing trauma, including PTSD and complex trauma, intimate partner violence, relationship betrayal, narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationship dynamics, attachment wounds, and personality disorders. Her approach is grounded, compassionate, and collaborative, creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported in doing meaningful, transformative work.

EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) form the foundation of Marlies’ practice, helping clients process painful experiences at their roots rather than simply managing symptoms. She also integrates principles from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to strengthen emotional regulation, relational patterns, and values-based change. Her integrative approach balances depth-oriented healing with practical tools for everyday life.

In addition to trauma recovery, Marlies supports clients navigating life transitions, identity exploration, grief and loss, and complex relational patterns. She is attentive to how early experiences and attachment dynamics shape emotional regulation, boundaries, and sense of self over time.

Marlies believes that healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about removing the barriers that prevent access to resilience, clarity, and potential. Her goal is to help clients move beyond survival patterns and toward a more grounded, empowered way of living—creating space for meaning, authenticity, and lasting change.
