Marcia Weiss Ed.M., is a psychotherapist and writer. She specializes in helping writers, artists and other creative individuals excel creatively, professionally and personally.  Her counseling and teaching helps writers and artists strengthen their voice, build their style, increase motivation and develop self confidence. Marcia’s education, skills and experience combined with her ability to nurture, educate and challenge helps artists and writers, new and experienced,  engage more successfully in the creative flow process and overcome creative and self promotion blocks.

She earned her Ed.M. at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education in 1983. She has run her own psychotherapy practice, Collaborative Psychotherapy, for over 25 years. Around 2002 she hosted a collaborative art gallery in her office. This led to a greater focus in her work on assisting artists and later writers.

She addresses issues spanning creative blocks to self presentation, career direction to creative flow. She has taught graduate students and adults to overcome writing blocks in their dissertations, short stories, novels and business writing.

Some of the venues who have hosted her workshops and through which her workshops have drawn high praise include Tufts University, Grub Street Writers, the Truro Center for the Arts, the Cambridge and Somerville Public Libraries.
