Marissa Smith
I work with children, adults, and families facing anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, school-related issues, trauma, and more. I believe life is both messy and beautiful— even in the hardest moments, there’s potential to discover your strength and grow in ways you didn’t think possible. I offer a supportive, no-pressure space where you can speak openly and feel heard without judgment. I especially enjoy working with parents, children and young adults to help build stronger, healthier family relationships.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session we will spend time talking about what has brought you to therapy, what you have already tried that is working and ways we can work together to accomplish your goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Each person is unique and the therapeutic approach should also be unique. I use a variety of techniques to support skill building and processing strong emotions.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My approach is collaborative and grounded—I'm not here to "fix" you, but to help you understand your experience and move toward what matters to you. I believe the right fit between you and your therapist is critically important. You might find me a good match if you're looking for a therapist who’s warm but direct, focused, and able to hold both the practical and emotional parts of your life.
