My name is Marissa Gilbert and I have been practicing for about 9 years. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you and support you in your journey of personal growth and healing. I want to create a safe space where you can come and express yourself in a supportive, non judgmental session. My approach to therapy depends on the client and where they are currently. I'm here to work with you, listen to your concerns and help you develop insights to navigate the challenges you maybe facing. Whether you need that extra support in depression, anxiety, family or your own self esteem I want to help you grow as a individual and empower you along the way.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, I want you to come as you are, rather we are through zoom or in office. I want my clients to feel comfortable, seen and heard while in session. We will begin with introductions and getting to know each other. I want you to know you will have my undivided attention and that I am here for you to navigate your life. We will discuss why you have decided to take the next steps for therapy and what challenges you are facing.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe a strength that I posses as a provider is to be transparent and authentic. I understand that you are here for guidance and though I may not have all the answers you are looking for my goal is to be real with you and where you are in this stage of your life. I want to be able to build trust, empower, model healthy communication and facilitate insight and growth with my clients.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. My approach to utilizing CBT in therapy is to help educate the client on the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and how changing one can impact the other. Identifying Cognitive Distortions and using Cognitive Restructuring to help reframe irrational and unhelpful beliefs in a more realistic way.

Strength-Based

Strength- Based Therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on promoting growth, resilience and wellbeing. Assessing client strengths and help them to identify times where strength was utilized to get through situations in their lives. Helping clients change their mindset and reframing challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. Instilling a positive outlook in situations so that clients can overcome what they are facing.

Humanistic

Humanistic Therapy created a client centered approach and emphasizes self exploration, personal growth and self actualization. I want to create a non judgmental space for the client that allows for empathy, genuineness and holistic perspective. This allows the client to foster mindfulness and presence in therapy by encourage clients to be fully present in the moment.
