Meet Marketa Winfield, Psychotherapist
I bring extensive experience and expertise to my practice, having worked in various therapeutic roles across North Carolina. From 2020 to 2022, I served as the Lead Primary Therapist and Group Therapist at the Transformative Life Center/Transcend ED, where I guided individuals through their recovery journey with personalized care and support. My work focused on creating a safe and nurturing environment for clients to explore their emotions and develop healthier coping strategies.
Since 2022, I have also been a Psychotherapist and Partner at Montgomery Counseling Group. This role has allowed me to collaborate with other mental health professionals to deliver comprehensive therapeutic services to a diverse clientele.
