Marissa helped me through an incredibly difficult time in my life. She was always responsive and her guidance made the most sense for me which is saying a lot because I feel I am a dealing with an extremely difficult group of situations...dealing with severe PTSD and a severe anxiety disorder. I would recommend her to anyone and I am grateful for the help I received.

I was really enjoying talking to and connecting with Marissa. Unfortunately I had to change therapists due to state regulation changes, otherwise I would have continued working with her.
