Dr. Marotta has been nationally recognized as a cognitive-behavior therapy specialist. She has been a columnist for the Miami-Herald, quoted in USA TODAY, WASHINGTON POST, and other national publications.  She has been a featured television guest, author, and radio personality.  She is a former President of the Broward County Psychological Association.  Her twenty-one (21) years of experience with divorced parents and children provide a strong foundation for her commitment to “CHILDREN FIRST.”

Dr. Marotta has personally created a positive parenting team with her son’s father.  Her son, Christopher, coped with separate parenting styles from age one.  Dr. Marotta’s own personal journey has been as a single mother, coping with the presence of a stepmother, remarriage, and blended family issues.  Christopher is now attending Bowdoin College in Maine.  Her personal experience developing a parenting team, coupled with her clinical experience, are a dynamic combination.

“I have a great respect for the challenges of parenting while coping with feelings of hurt, rejection, and abandonment.  Children do not come with a manual and our life experience does not prepare us for the many challenges of parenting.  It is an honor to be invited into parents lives to maintain the focus on the welfare and positive health of children.”
