Great to meet you!

Welcome! I’m Marissa Brooks, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience working in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of treatment settings, including crisis residential programs and outpatient mental health services. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Criminal Law and Behavior, as well as a Master’s degree in Social Work. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and stress management.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is strengths-based, solution-focused, and collaborative. I believe that each person has unique strengths and resilience that can be leveraged to create meaningful change. Together, we will identify practical solutions, build effective coping strategies, and work toward your goals. While I provide a supportive and compassionate environment, I also utilize a direct and honest approach when addressing barriers, patterns, and resistance that may be preventing growth.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where they feel heard, respected, and empowered. My goal is to help clients gain insight, increase self-confidence, improve coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, or a major life transition, I strive to provide a safe space for growth, healing, and personal development.
