Hi there! My name is Marisa Sleiman, a licensed clinician in the state of New York. I pride myself in my ability to ensure my clients feel safe, heard and cared for. My ability to listen without judgment and provide transparent and thoughtful insight remains at the core of my practice. I genuinely love this work and look forward to the opportunity to work together to achieve your mental health goals.
I bring a warm yet direct approach to my practice to ensure my clients feel safe and understood, while building confidence to address change and process challenging thoughts and experiences. I utilize evidenced based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to bring awareness to internal thought patterns as a result of challenging life aspects such as negative self esteem or trauma. I enjoy listening to my clients and maintaining a humanistic approach, ensuring each therapeutic alliance and experience is reflective of my client's individual and unique emotional needs.
First and foremost, you will always remain in the driver seat. Together, we will move at your pace to build a better understanding and acceptance of self, and address more complex and challenging issues such as trauma, difficult and strained relationships with self/others, anxiety and depression symptoms, along with mood and personality related concerns. Over time you will gain clarity on individual needs and build healthy coping skills for stress to foster a strong relationship with self.
