Marisa Markowitz

Hi! 'm Marisa Markowitz, LCSW, CASAC, C-DBT. I’m a warm, affirming, and goal-oriented therapist who believes that real change is possible — even when it feels scary or uncertain. Therapy is a courageous step, and I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and a clear plan.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, and trauma. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Reprocessing (EMR). Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and empowered. Whether you’re here to heal, grow, or find direction, I’m committed to helping you reach the goals that matter most to you.

My approach is person-centered and solutions-focused — we’ll work together to understand your unique needs and tailor our work to support the goals that matter most to you. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), adapting treatment to best fit your personal strengths and challenges.

Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, depression, or a life transition, therapy with me is a space for support, growth, and real progress — at your pace, and in your way.

Clients can expect to leave sessions not only with insight, but also with tools — whether that’s helpful exercises, optional homework, podcasts, books, or other resources that align with your goals. My aim is to make therapy both supportive and actionable, helping you create lasting change in your everyday life.
