Marissa Bruder

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and evidence-based care. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel seen, heard, and empowered to create meaningful change. I work with clients across a variety of life stages and experiences, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress management, and personal growth. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and develop the tools needed to navigate life with greater confidence and resilience. I am especially passionate about working with women who are navigating the many roles and transitions life brings, including relationships, career changes, motherhood, and identity shifts. I enjoy helping women who may be struggling to balance it all or find themselves in an uncertain “I don’t know” season of life. A special focus of my work is supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, the transition to motherhood, and other significant life transitions. I am particularly passionate about helping women navigate birth trauma, NICU experiences, pregnancy complications, identity shifts postpartum, and the emotional challenges that can arise during this season of life. Together, we work to process these experiences, build resilience, reconnect with a sense of self, and create greater balance and fulfillment. I also support couples through transitions such as marriage, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and the transition to parenthood, helping partners strengthen communication, deepen connection, and navigate change as a team. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based modalities. I believe therapy is about more than symptom relief. It is about reconnecting with yourself, strengthening relationships, building resilience, and creating a life that feels aligned with your values.
