Hi, I'm Marissa! I'm excited at the prospect of getting to know you! The first decade of my career as a medical social worker specialized around death, dying and grief. The last 6+ years have been dedicated to helping people live their best lives. I am an LCSW with a certificate in Somatic Sexology, and a special interest in relational work and somatic practices to help clients communicate effectively and alleviate troubling symptoms.
My therapeutic approach really varies depending on the person and their needs. Overall, I would describe my approach as a series of information gathering sessions, so that together, as a team, we can come up with a treatment plan that best suits your needs.
Within a warm, nonjudgemental space, you will be heard, validated and at times challenged so that your identified struggles turn from stressful to manageable. Somatic practices and coping skills will be taught so that you're confident in tackling your obstacles along the way.
