Marissa Barcelos

Hi there, my name is Marissa Barcelos (she/her) and I have been providing counseling services for the past ten years for children, teens, adults, and families. I have school based counseling experience, and love working with children and teens as they process big feelings, learn coping skills, navigate social media, relationships, and decreasing self-harm. I am trained in Play Therapy, Therapy, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing. I am also trained in Perinatal and Postpartum Mental Health.

I have a heart for working with parents who are struggling with perinatal and postpartum symptoms (anxiety/depression), adoption, fertility issues, symptoms of trauma from NICU stay, birth trauma, as well as grief with miscarriage. I understand the combination of fear and joy of parenthood, the “what do I do now?”, and the struggle of navigating through your new role and identity.

I understand how heavy the world can feel and can help provide a space for you to share about it and learn some tools. I believe that we are all doing our best and sometimes we need a little extra help or space to talk it out.

I like to use humor to help you feel more comfortable, and want to utilize your strengths. I am also trauma informed and utilize that in my practice. Ultimately, I am here to help you go where you would like to go, I let you lead and help provide tools along the way.
