Marisa McMahon

I am a licensed clinical social worker who has had the pleasure of supporting diverse populations for over 23 years. I have experience in medical settings working with individuals living with cancer and their family and friends. I have sat with patients as they’ve navigated fear, worry, grief, sorrow and triumph. I believe that my presence is one of my most powerful tools and I strive to create an environment where individuals feel seen and heard.

I believe therapy is about helping people learn to be curious about the more challenging parts of themselves rather than judgmental, providing greater self-awareness and acceptance. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can help individuals connect with the safety and love within themselves.

I utilize talk therapy, concentration on somatic experience and mindfulness techniques to address feelings of distress and emotional and physical discomfort.
