Many people seek therapy when anxiety, stress, or overwhelming thoughts begin to interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. I work with clients who feel stuck in cycles of worry, overthinking, avoidance, or self-doubt, and I help them build practical tools to feel more grounded and in control.
I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety and stress-related concerns, including panic symptoms, intrusive thoughts, and repetitive worry patterns. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on improving daily functioning — not just reducing symptoms.

Hi, I'm Maurissa. Much of my background has involved work with people on the Autism spectrum and I found that they struggle with the same things that many people do, including grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, etc. My experience with people on the spectrum has helped me to provide an open perspective to work with those struggling with emotional regulation and different ways of thinking.
I love helping both children and adults to cope better with stress, feel more hopeful about the future, and to process difficult moments from the past. Many of my clients have the goal to start living a life that aligns with their values; getting closer to what really matters to them. I see the goal of therapy as helping a client to live, work, learn, and play more freely. That might mean helping a child be brave enough to speak in front of their classmates or help an adult learn to set boundaries in their relationships.
I'm a lifelong learner who has many specialties, but my primary specialties would include Exposure and Response Prevention (Anxiety and OCD), Cognitive Processing Therapy (PTSD), ACT (Depression), Theraplay (children 0-5), treatments for neurodiverse peoples (ADHD and ASD), and Psychological Testing. I can also offer services in Spanish and English.
I appreciate the bravery it took to search for a therapist, and I hope I get the chance to help you and your family carve the next step forward. You are welcome to message me with questions or to set up a quick consult call to see what it'd be like to work with me. I guarantee I will respond to your inquiry within 2 business days.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Park Ridge starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare Park Ridge therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and credentials that align with your needs. A licensed clinical professional counselor, licensed clinical social worker, psychologist, or other licensed therapist may use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Park Ridge is a smaller city, so local in-person openings may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping your search connected to Illinois-licensed therapists. Consider whether you prefer an office near downtown Park Ridge, nearby neighborhoods, or a virtual appointment that fits your calendar. It also helps to review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can show how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Park Ridge can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway lets you enter your insurance details, view therapists who match your preferences, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse therapists in Park Ridge, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
