I'm so glad you're here! I’m Marissa, a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. I’m a former hospitality leader turned therapist, blending my experience in understanding people’s needs with my passion for helping them heal and grow through therapy. I enjoy supporting those who have experienced trauma, and now find that is impacting their relationships particularly the relationship with themselves.
I specialize in a trauma informed treatment approach called EMDR therapy. EMDR is a great approach for anyone who feels stuck in patterns, memories, or emotions that they can't let go. I also use a parts-informed approach to help gently heal the inner parts that show up in therapy.
It is my goal to create a space where you feel safe and open to share your experiences. In the first few sessions, we discuss your goals for therapy and a plan to make it happen! If you're looking for EMDR therapy, I explain every step of the way.
