Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, substance use, or simply feeling like you no longer have control over your life. You may know that you want things to change but feel unsure about where to begin. That is where therapy can help.
I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel comfortable being honest about what you are experiencing without fear of judgment. My personality is warm, compassionate, understanding, and straightforward. I will meet you where you are while also encouraging you to look more closely at the thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that may be keeping you from moving forward. I am here to support you, but I also want to help you recognize your own strength and ability to create change in your life.
I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I also use different therapeutic approaches based on who you are, what you have experienced, and what you need from therapy. I understand that therapy is not one size fits all, so our work together will be tailored to your individual needs, culture, identity, strengths, and goals.
Both my personal and professional experiences have taught me that healing is not always easy or straightforward. It takes honesty, patience, self compassion, and a willingness to do the work. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You simply need to be willing to begin.
Together, we will identify what may be keeping you stuck, develop healthier ways to manage life’s challenges, and work toward the life you truly want. We will work together to help you become more intentional with your life and mindful with your healing.

My approach to therapy is person-centered and strengths-based, which means I strive to meet you where you are and tailor treatment to your individual needs and goals. I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help clients develop practical coping skills, improve emotional well-being, and navigate life's challenges more effectively. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. Together, we can explore what's getting in the way, build healthy coping strategies, and work toward the changes that are important to you.I am committed to providing culturally responsive and inclusive care and welcome individuals from all backgrounds, identities, and life experiences. I enjoy working with people across the lifespan and am open to supporting diverse populations. I value creating a therapeutic space where clients feel respected, accepted, and understood, and I recognize the importance of considering cultural, social, and personal factors that shape each individual's experience.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and U.S. Navy veteran who provides culturally responsive therapy to adolescents ages 14 and older and adults. I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as your whole self and feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can be honest about what they are experiencing while developing practical tools to help them move forward.
I work with clients experiencing depression, grief and loss, major life transitions, relationship and family challenges, low self-esteem, difficulty with emotional regulation, and periods of feeling stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about what comes next. With adolescents, I enjoy helping young people navigate identity development, self-esteem, peer and family relationships, school stress, emotional regulation, and the challenges that come with transitioning into adulthood.
Cultural competence is an important part of my work. I have a particular passion for working with clients of color and recognize that culture, family expectations, identity, community, and lived experiences can influence how we understand ourselves and how we experience the world. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where these experiences can be openly explored and respected rather than overlooked.
My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, practical, and direct. I don’t believe therapy has to feel overly clinical or disconnected from your everyday life. We will work together to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, recognize your strengths, develop healthier ways of coping, and create realistic changes that support the life you want to build. Whether you are an adolescent figuring out who you are or an adult navigating a new chapter, therapy can be a place to grow, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with greater confidence.

I believe that people can take their mental health into their own hands and build a life that is rooted in acceptance, regulation, stability, balance, and self-love. My clients would likely say that: I listen well, provide plenty of psychoeducation, help them increase insight, offer relevant feedback and have a strong faith in their ability to create positive and lasting changes, that improve their quality of life. I have often been told that I create a calming environment, which can be helpful for clients navigating difficult challenges.

For the past 17 years, I have had the privilege of helping people navigate the complicated, messy, and often deeply meaningful work of understanding themselves. I believe therapy can be a place to slow down-to step outside of the noise and begin taking a more examined look at your life, your patterns, your relationships and the choices you've been making. My approach is grounded in the belief that our minds and nervous system are constantly trying to protect us. Many of the patterns that can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected or overwhelmed once served an important purpose. I am interested in helping you understand why these patterns developed, what they may be trying to communicate and whether they still serve you in the life you're living now. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness practices. I don't believe there is one right way to do therapy, so our work will be collaborative and tailored to you.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist working with adults who may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally unsettled beneath the surface. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, self-doubt, or persistent patterns they can’t quite untangle on their own.
My style is thoughtful, steady, and insight-oriented. I integrate practical tools for emotional regulation with deeper exploration of relational patterns and attachment dynamics. I believe therapy should feel both grounding and meaningful — a place where you can slow down, understand yourself more clearly, and begin shifting patterns that no longer serve you.
Clients often describe me as calm, direct, and attuned. I aim to create a space that feels safe enough for honesty and structured enough for real change. My work focuses not only on reducing symptoms, but on building emotional clarity, stability, and more secure ways of relating — to others and to yourself.

Hello,
Thank you for reviewing my profile.
Briefly; I am Licensed Naturopathic Doctor, a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor
I work with adult professional women dealing with anxiety, depression, past unresolved trauma, grief, stress and relationship issues. My philosophy is that we need positive human beings in our lives, to 'see' us and bear witness to our lives. In order for us to be fully human, we need at least one supportive individual who validates the part of us that needs healing. We need meaningful experiences to help us navigate this journey called life.
My training as a Naturopathic Doctor affords me a lens to also consider, incorporate and integrate diet & lifestyle practices for your overall well-being.
So, if you are tired of being tired, anxious, sad, depressed and you're just going through the motions, feeling stuck in dysfunctional patterns that drain you; AND you are willing to do the work to get well, then you need skilled, compassionate support to help you get unstuck and get your life back on track, so that you can experience purposeful living. As our paths intersect her, I start with the intention that you to "prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers" 3 John 2.

Hi, I’m Marissa Andris (Davitt), LMHC — a therapist and coach who helps women move from overwhelm and self-doubt into clarity, steadiness, and meaningful change.
I support clients who feel stretched thin, stuck in old patterns, or disconnected from the version of themselves they want to be. Many of the women I work with are managing anxiety, perfectionism, emotional eating, or burnout, and are craving a calmer, more grounded way of living. They’re often high-functioning on the outside but wrestling with exhaustion, shame, or feeling “not enough” on the inside.
My approach blends evidence-based therapy with action-oriented coaching, mindfulness, and a mind-body lens. You’ll find that our work is compassionate and grounding, but also focused on movement, change, and building habits that support your emotional and physical wellbeing. I use CBT, ACT, and solution-focused tools alongside a person-centered relationship—so you feel both supported and encouraged to take meaningful steps forward.
Clients describe me as warm, direct, and deeply invested in their growth. Together, we create a space where you can slow down, understand what’s getting in the way, and begin making choices aligned with who you want to be. If you’re ready for a clear path, steady support, and an approach that honors both your humanity and your goals, I’d be honored to work with you.

My career started in North Carolina when I got my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Carolina University and completed my internship serving as a counselor in an inpatient substance use treatment facility. After that, most of my career was spent serving diverse populations in New York City, in multiple settings of care including substance use treatment and community mental health treatment facilities, and private practice settings. I worked with a heavily diverse, international, and multicultural population from many backgrounds. Over time I had immersive experience building a niche working with LGBTQ+ clients, with a particularly strong following of gay men navigating complexities in their identity, sexuality, and interpersonal relationships. I also worked with clients from all walks of life navigating concerns around trauma, addiction, mood disorders, major life transitions, and concerns regarding intimate relationships.
I consider my counseling approach to be ecletic. I incorperate concepts from many different modalities and adapt them to the unique needs and personalities of my clients.

Great to meet you!
I want you to know that when you come into therapy with me, you don’t have to pretend, minimize, or hold everything together. You get to show up exactly as you are — we take it from there together. My favorite part of this work has always been sitting with people one‐on‐one. That’s where real connection and real healing happen. I genuinely enjoy getting to know who you are, what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping might feel different.
My style is warm, steady, and honest. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you understand the experiences and patterns that are shaping your life. I’m also practical — I like to offer tools and strategies you can actually use in your day‐to‐day life, not just in the therapy room. I work with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major transitions, and substance use concerns. Something I tell clients often is this: I don’t want you to just feel better — I want you to be well. Feeling better can be temporary. Being well means building insight, healing, and lasting change.
When you work with me, you get someone who shows up fully — present, steady, honest, and genuinely invested in your well‐being. I’m not here to give you quick fixes or surface‐level advice. I’m here to help you understand yourself more deeply, heal what’s been ignored or pushed aside, and build a life that feels more grounded and true to who you are. My style is warm, direct, and deeply human. I listen for the things underneath your words — the patterns, the pain points, the strengths you might not yet see. I’ll challenge you gently, support you consistently, and help you make sense of what’s been getting in the way.

Hello, I hold a Master of Social Work degree from Albany University in New York and have been practicing for over 12 years. Some of the best experience as a therapist have been working with teens, young adults, parents, and the queer community - sometimes these "population" overlap of course; I love working with people seeking to bring their various histories, and identities into cohesion.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of experience treating depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, life transitions, and long-standing patterns in how people relate to themselves and others. I see mental health as the ability to perceive reality accurately, including the differences between yourself and others, and to respond to it effectively. I tailor my approach to your needs, whether that's practical life challenges, rigid thought patterns, or emotional pain held in the body after trauma. I also help you untangle enmeshed family relationships: recognizing where your own feelings and needs end and others' begin, and setting boundaries without guilt. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and psychodynamic theory. Effective therapy, in my view, means both challenging the thinking and relational patterns that keep you stuck and learning to understand and regulate the emotions underneath them.

I believe that seeking therapy is one of the most courageous things a person can do. It takes strength to acknowledge that something isn't working and to ask for support in making a change. My approach to therapy is straightforward: I'm here to listen, understand, and work alongside you as you navigate whatever challenges you're facing.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy 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.
