I’m Marissa Nelson, an award-winning, Relationship and Sex Therapist, TEDx speaker, and educator dedicated to helping couples and individuals thrive. You can catch me on Fox 5 or Good Day DC sharing insights on dating, or in the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Glamour, and Women’s Health as a trusted relationship expert. I recently launched The Lovers Society, a community offering resources, courses, and content to help you level up your relationship. My mission is to help you reclaim pleasure and intimacy, and gain the clarity and support to make decisions that work for your future—because you deserve peace, joy, ease, and rest!
My specializations and experience allow us to work together with a purpose: To help committed couples dedicated to making their love last, learn how to effectively communicate their emotional and sexual wants and needs so that they can thrive in connection, grow in desire, and deepen intimacy. This applies to pre-marital all the way through the golden years.
Therefore, wherever you are in your journey together, I can accelerate your path to clarity, communication and connection - tailored to your unique relationship needs. You are not alone. Know that there is hope, and that I am here to support your relationship. Give me a call or send me an email today.
