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.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
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.
