I’m Dr. Marie Naumann,
a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Chicago, IL.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my psychology practice.
Many of us struggle and feel overwhelmed at some point in our lives. At these times we may lose sight of our strengths, and need guidance and support to rediscover our resilience.
My Services
Individual Psychotherapy
I offer individual psychotherapy for adults navigating concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, and relationship struggles. In therapy, we’ll work together to understand the challenges you’ve faced and help you move toward the goals that matter most to you. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can cultivate both self-acceptance and meaningful, lasting change.
My approach is rooted in relational and emotionally focused practices. Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) helps people process difficult emotions, heal from past experiences, and build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. As a certified EFIT therapist, I bring this framework into our work to support lasting growth and well-being, and foster deeper connection and healing.
Relationship Therapy
When we experience relationship distress, we can get caught in painful cycles of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding. In couples therapy, we work together to recognize and interrupt these patterns, uncover the underlying emotions and needs that drive them, and create new ways of reaching for one another. This process allows space for healing, growth, and a deeper sense of safety and closeness in your relationship.
I am certified to provide Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, utilizing empirically validated interventions to help partners move beyond disconnection and build a stronger emotional bond. EFCT supports couples in learning how to repair ruptures, communicate more effectively, and respond to one another with openness and care. The result is not only relief from distress but also a more resilient, loving relationship that can weather challenges and thrive.

My Approach
Healing does not happen in isolation. We live in broader cultural, historical, and systemic contexts that shape our experiences, relationships, and sense of self.
I strive to create a space where clients’ identities, values, and lived experiences are respected and centered. In therapy, we will hold space not only for your personal story but also for the cultural, systemic, and ecological realities that shape it.
My goal is to support you in making meaning, finding resilience, and moving toward greater freedom and connection within yourself and in the world around you.
Outside of Work
In my free time, I enjoy spending time in nature, being with family and friends, working on creative projects, and spoiling my dogs and chickens.
