At Socratic Wellness, I provide integrative therapy grounded in collaboration, curiosity, and practical growth. I specialize in working with veterans, first responders, and individuals looking to improve communication skills, manage trauma, or navigate life transitions. My approach is client-centered and adaptable, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities to meet you where you are. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action, even in the presence of difficult thoughts and emotions. EMDR is available for processing trauma and building nervous system resilience. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to explore patterns, support behavior change, and strengthen internal motivation. My style is warm, respectful, and engaged. I often use Socratic questioning to encourage insight and deeper self-understanding, and I draw from existential perspectives to explore identity, purpose, and meaning — especially during times of uncertainty or change. I take an eclectic approach, customizing therapy based on your goals, needs, and strengths. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or others, therapy can be a place to sort through what’s getting in the way and reconnect with what matters most. You don’t need to show up with answers — just a willingness to explore. Together, we’ll build a space that supports reflection, healing, and forward movement at your own pace.

Hi! My name is Marisa and I am an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), residing in Massachusetts. I received my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology in 2018. I have been practicing in the mental health/human services field in a variety of settings: outpatient, crisis stabilization unit, residential and have experience working with adults dealing with a wide range of mental health and substance abuse disorders. My focus is person-centered and to create a compassionate, inclusive, and trauma-informed space to allow individuals to fully express themselves. My perspective is that each person is the author of their own story and therapy provides support in maneuvering this. You are the expert of yourself. I have experience supporting individuals dealing with life stressors, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and borderline personality disorder. My style is more eclectic, using a combination of classic talk therapy and CBT and DBT tools. I utilize humor as a way to create common ground with the client and relate through the human condition.

I have been helping clients navigate and recover from mental health disorders working as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in MA for over 20 years. I am passionate about helping others discover and accomplish their individual therapeutic goals. I am an experienced animal assisted therapist and work towards incorporating animals into sessions, even virtually! I have a therapeutic dog, Oliver and 3 cats that love to join in sessions from time to time. I understand that therapy can be a big step for most people and know how important it is to work with someone clients feel comfortable in their therapeutic space. When I am not providing therapy or taking care of my 4-legged furry friends, I love to travel, spend time with family, scrapbook, and make hand beaded creations.

After two decades in public education, I realized my true passion was helping people navigate life’s challenges on a deeper level. Becoming a therapist felt like a natural next step—one where I could use my ability to truly listen, think creatively, and see the whole picture to make a lasting impact. My work in schools, Major League Baseball, and private practice has given me a broad perspective and deep compassion for the struggles people face. With specialized training in different therapeutic modalities, I’m committed to offering personalized, evidence-based care to help clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to heal.

Dr. Alexis (she/they) is a queer, neurodivergent, Latinx therapist and guide who supports Women of Color, LGBTQ+ folks, and late-diagnosed neurodivergent individuals navigating burnout, identity, and relational healing. Using the *The Restorative Thread* methodology she developed, she weaves together narrative therapy, somatic practices, and culturally grounded care to help clients unmask, reconnect, and reclaim their truth—in their own time and in their own way. Many of her clients are deeply capable and outwardly composed, yet inwardly carrying exhaustion, disconnection, or the weight of constantly being “on.” Dr. Alexis offers a restorative, affirming space where you can explore who you are *beyond survival*, and begin to live more fully aligned with your essence embodiment.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Massachusetts rather than a city like Boston?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Massachusetts from Springfield to Cape Cod! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Massachusetts.

Will my therapist take United Medical Resources?

Yes! If you use United Medical Resources you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have United Medical Resources you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
