Empowering

I'm a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania and have worked as a community based therapist for nine years. I've treated individuals of all ages and their families, addressing issues like managing and healing from conflict, anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and grief. My approach as a therapist is an integrative one. I pull from all my knowledge and evidence based theories/interventions to offer skills, information, and techniques that are unique to your needs. I spent most of my career working in an agency setting and am now excited and humbled to be able to provide services to the community through my private practice, Solid Ground Therapy. I strongly value providing quality care and honoring the trust and alliance built in the therapeutic relationship. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage. Congratulations on getting started! I'm here for you and honored to support you in your effort to live as a healthier, more authentic you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first sessions I'll ask questions to get to know you and what brings you to therapy. Then, I'll teach you skills related to regulation and how such skills work in the body. Moving forward, we'll work to identify strengths and challenges, problem solve, practice relaxation, and process difficult emotions/situations. You will grow to understand yourself in a way that allows you to make changes and feel satisfied with the life you are living.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

My style is heavily influenced by Mindfulness, Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I believe in encouragement and empowering clients as you are the expert of your story and have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the things that challenge you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am committed to providing a safe and therapeutic environment to sensitive individuals through tele-health services. In order to do so, I have focused my continued education on cultural sensitivity, TF-CBT, coping with grief, the healing of trauma, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and nutrition for mental health. I invite you to be yourself, work through the difficulties of grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and more, and grow past surviving into thriving.

Marissa was super amazing and helpful in helping me navigate difficult stressors I was facing at the time we met. I'm super thankful that I found her when I did, she helped me walk through a difficult time in my life.

The gentlest pushback and encouragement I've ever been willing to receive - I'm usually pretty stubborn about my way of thinking but Marissa does GREAT at helping me see and consider a different perspective and approach. I'm so moved by our time together that I kept my appt. with her on the day I gave birth!! It was BEAUTIFUL processing my birth experience with her.

She made me feel really comfortable and I look forward to seeing her again. She doesn’t NOT seem judgmental at all
