Melissa Tayree-Marshall, LCPC, PhD

Dr. Tayree-Marshall is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Certified Imago Clinical Therapist, CCE Approved Clinical Supervisor, AAMFT Approved Supervisor, and a board-approved supervisor in the state of Maryland. A second-career therapist, she was inspired to enter the counseling field after witnessing the transformative healing journey of her father, a Vietnam Veteran, through group and individual therapy.

 

She holds a bachelor’s degree in Gender Studies and English from Towson University, where she also earned a master’s degree in Human Resources. She later obtained a doctoral degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Capella University. After a successful career as a consultant and entrepreneur, she pursued post-doctoral studies in Counseling Psychology at Loyola University Maryland. Currently, she is completing training at the Colorado School for Family Therapy to become a Registered Play Therapist. Her goal is to integrate expressive and talk therapy to meet the diverse needs of her clients.

​

In addition to her academic and clinical training, Dr. Tayree-Marshall is a Certified Grief Specialist, Certified Trauma Specialist, and Certified Systemic SandPlay Therapist. She has completed Levels I and II of Gottman Method Couples Therapy and is trained in the Prepare/Enrich premarital and marital assessment program. She is also certified to administer the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to help individuals gain deeper self-awareness and enhance their functioning in both personal and professional settings.

Dr. Tayree-Marshall works with individuals, couples, and families, integrating multiple therapeutic approaches to meet each client’s unique needs. She helps clients explore how their lived experiences have shaped their relationships, self-concept, and overall well-being. She is an affirming provider and proud ally of the LGBTQIA+ community, offering therapy to individuals and same-sex couples.

She is also deeply committed to supporting youth and families. Her use of expressive arts and play therapy allows her to engage children in a developmentally appropriate and healing way. Her approach blends creativity with evidence-based practice to support clients across the lifespan.

Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Tayree-Marshall facilitates community-based and organizational workshops aimed at enhancing emotional well-being and building resilience.

As a clinical supervisor, she applies systemic theory to help interns and graduate-level clinicians grow in their practice. She provides support and guidance in case conceptualization, treatment planning, and clinical skill development. Her supervision style is encouraging, collaborative, and focused on preparing emerging therapists to work effectively with diverse populations and complex clinical issues.

Dr. Tayree-Marshall is the owner of a thriving private practice and co-owner of Behavioral Health Pathways (www.behavioralhealthpathway.us), an interdisciplinary group practice dedicated to comprehensive mental health care.
