Marissa Waldner

Hello! I welcome individuals of all ages. I support clients navigating family dynamics, co-parenting, school-related concerns, relationships, trauma, and military-related stressors, and really, I am here to walk alongside you through whatever challenges you may be facing.

With a background as a school counselor, I understand how life experiences impact emotional and behavioral well-being. My approach is gentle yet direct—I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space while also helping you move forward with clarity and intention.

I use a client-centered, strengths-based approach and tailor each session to your unique needs. For those who are interested, I’m also open to incorporating faith-based perspectives into our work.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or seeking support through a transition, I’m here to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered.

You matter—your experiences, your thoughts, and your story. I am honored by the trust you place in me, and I will walk alongside you while also gently challenging you to grow into the best version of yourself.

My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, grounded in compassion and gentle directness. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood, while also helping you gain insight, build practical skills, and move forward with clarity and intention.

I may be a good fit for you if you are looking for a supportive but honest space where you can feel understood, challenged in a healthy way, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.

I believe you matter—your experiences, your thoughts, and your story all deserve to be heard and understood. I begin our work together with an introductory session where you can share what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. From there, we’ll collaborate to create meaningful, realistic goals. I strive to provide a warm, welcoming, and supportive space where you feel safe to be open and vulnerable, while also being gently challenged to grow into the best version of yourself. Each session is focused on helping you move forward in a way that feels authentic, empowering, and aligned with what matters most to you.
