Intentional Healing at Your Pace

Haus of Mental Health Counseling is built on moving beyond traditional talk therapy. We offer focused and extended therapeutic sessions for clients who prefer a more experiential and intentional approach to working through the experiences, emotions, memories, and patterns that continue to impact their lives. Rather than defining our work by a specific diagnosis or concern, Haus focuses on how therapy is experienced using purposeful therapeutic approaches designed to help clients actively engage in the process of change.

Our work is rooted in mindfulness-based practices, guided vivid imagery, developmental repair, past-self work, and other experiential interventions tailored to each client’s individual needs and clinical goals. Therapy may involve processing a past experience, strengthening the sense of self, working through a relationship or loss, exploring developmental experiences, or addressing something that simply continues to feel emotionally unfinished. We approach treatment through a mind–body lens, recognizing that understanding something intellectually does not always change the way we experience it emotionally.

We embody Seneca’s belief that “No man was ever wise by chance.” As a boutique private practice, Haus honors honest work, curiosity, and intentional healing. Therapy here is not about talking simply to talk, it is about using the therapeutic process with purpose. You cannot unlearn without learning something new, and our approach is designed to help clients not only understand themselves differently, but experience themselves differently.

Meet Marina Orphanides, LMHC-D

Living and working in the New York area has shaped much of my perspective as a therapist. I’ve seen how the fast pace, high expectations, and constant pressure of city life can contribute to anxiety, burnout, and emotional overwhelm. In a city like New York, people often want more than just a space to talk…they want clarity, insight, and direction. My work focuses on helping clients better understand their nervous system, process difficult experiences, and develop practical tools that support lasting emotional resilience and meaningful change.

What We Offer

At Haus of Mental Health Counseling, we provide both in-person and virtual sessions that blend evidence-based care with genuine relatability, compassion, and structured guidance. Our practice offers a tiered model of therapy to meet clients where they are, while allowing flexibility to move between levels as needed.

  • Person-Centered Talk Therapy: A supportive, grounded space to feel heard, understood, and validated. This level focuses on building safety, trust, emotional awareness, and a steady foundation for growth.

  • Integrative Insight-Based Therapy: For clients seeking deeper understanding and practical tools, we incorporate a range of evidence-based theoretical orientations, including and not limited to:

    • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    • Informal Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

    • Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)

    • Psychodynamic Therapy

    • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

    • Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)

    • Mindfulness-based and somatic approaches

    • Values-based work and elements of Positive Psychology

    • Psycho-education 

    This level supports insight, skill-building, and meaningful change.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing – Attachment-Focused (EMDR-AF): A highly specialized approach designed for deep emotional healing and targeted growth. EMDR-AF is effective for trauma, OCD, anxiety, phobias, emotional reactivity, and attachment wounds. This level is structured, goal-oriented, and transformative.
