LCSW, 7 years of experience
I'm Marisa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (115264) who received my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California, specializing in children, youth, and families. I have expertise in working with individual adults specializing in Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Transitions, Relationship Issues, and Self Esteem. I utilize collaborative treatment approaches based on your individual needs because I feel that every person is unique with a different story. I strive to help you feel empowered and to develop a stronger relationship with yourself. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, traveling, spending quality time with family and friends, and anything related to the arts.
In our sessions together, I provide a safe and compassionate space where you can share your personal challenges. Together, we will identify and explore your needs and goals to enhance your emotional growth and readiness for change.
I incorporate a range of therapeutic practices that focus on your unique strengths and goals. My approach is Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy.
If you are going through a life change/stressor, or want to understand more about your thoughts, emotions, and experiences that cause anxiety, depression, and self-doubt, I can help you to navigate this stage in your life. Whether you are dealing with relationship issues, moving, job stress, coping with loss, and more, I am here to guide and support you in your journey toward healing.
