Marissa is a licensed psychotherapist who helps young adults in their 20s and 30s navigate relationships, career uncertainty, self-discovery, and emotional well-being. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just trying to figure things out, Marissa provides a supportive space to explore your thoughts and patterns, helping you gain clarity and confidence.

Before starting her private practice, Marissa worked as a medical social worker in one of NYC’s top hospital systems, supporting individuals through major life transitions, chronic medical conditions, and trauma. She brings that deep understanding of the human experience into her therapy work, offering a warm, relational, and insight-driven approach.

Her style is flexible and collaborative—she’s here to help you make meaningful changes. With an attachment-focused and psychodynamic approach, Marissa helps clients explore past and present experiences to deepen self-awareness and create lasting change. She is also trained in EMDR and integrates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness to provide practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges.

Above all, Marissa believes therapy should be a space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered. Expect honesty, compassion, and even a little humor—because growth doesn’t have to be all serious. You’ll leave sessions with practical tools and insights to navigate life with more confidence, resilience, and self-awareness.
