Hello! I’m Marissa Watkins, LCSW. I’m a therapist in Arizona and I work primarily with adults who have experienced trauma and/or are struggling with depression and anxiety. I’m also passionate about perinatal mental health. My therapy style is influenced by attachment theory, trauma-informed care, interpersonal neurobiology, and mindfulness. The quality of fit between a client and therapist is the most important factor in whether therapy will be helpful. As your therapist, I will seek to understand you and your perspective and create space in which you feel safe to be vulnerable.
In our sessions, you can expect to be heard, supported, validated, and also challenged. Some clients need a therapist to be more directive in sessions, which I can do. However, I tend to allow clients to take the lead in sessions, as they generally know what they want to discuss and explore.
Like a lot of therapists, I knew I wanted to help others early on in life. During my time working with children in foster care, I saw how transformative therapy could be for these kids and their caregivers. I decided then that therapy would be the way for me to help others and pursued my clinical education and training.
