If you are ready to rekindle the fire between you and your partner, or... If you are ready to whittle the last chips of wood to reveal the masterpiece of you, then you are in the right place. The relationship between client and therapist is important. I work to meet clients where they are, paying special attention to creativity and positive human potential. I seek to uncover and establish an empathic, trusting, and comprehensive relationship with each of my clients providing the context for understanding the challenges and difficulties that brings them into therapy.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience. I work with teens and adults experiencing a variety of challenges including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions, trauma, or adjusting to life changes and daily stressors.

Hi, I'm Marissa - I am deeply passionate about promoting mental health and well-being, driven by my belief in every person's inherent strengths and resilience. By meeting clients where they are and adopting a strengths-based and assets-based approach, I aim to collaboratively create a therapeutic environment where clients can thrive and reclaim control over their lives. I am deeply dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of my clients and am honored to accompany them on their journey toward healing and personal growth.

I was born and raised in Argentina. I'm a bilingual, cross-cultural and international therapist and supervisor. My background allows me to navigate the challenges and benefits of being in one place and experience more than one culture at the same time. I have always held a profound curiosity about human psychology, relationships, child development, and the intricate tapestry of family and social dynamics. I am committed to guiding and supporting clients on the profound journey of understanding and embracing their family dynamics, recognizing their place within it, and learning how to take what they need from it to thrive in life

It is not easy to seek support and I am honored to be considered as someone who could help. I work with individuals & couples with a range of issues using both short and long-term therapy. As a Psychologist, I am trained to work with various issues related to well-being and distress. A few of my specialty areas include trauma, sexual concerns, depression, anxiety, relational work, infertility concerns and perinatal/postpartum depression and working with therapists. Overall, my approach is holistic and relational; I give the utmost attention to the therapeutic relationship as well as how people relate to others in their lives.

**TELEHEALTH SESSIONS ONLY** Everyone experiences stress. Life gets busy. Life gets hard. Sometimes, life hurts. My desire is to help you discover peace in all areas of your life and allow that peace to transform your heart: the center of your soul, your mind, your will, and your character. My goal is to empower you through grace to discover healing, renewal, and hope in the midst of life's struggles. In counseling, I will walk beside you through life's difficult moments, instilling confidence, integrity, and dignity.

I'm passionate about bringing a sense of meaning and satisfaction into peoples lives. That is why I became a counselor and opened my private practice. I've been blessed to watch people change their minds and change their lives. I have seen clients change and grow, overcome challenges and find genuine happiness and satisfaction in their lives. I believe in living your best life through healing and wholeness. I am here to support you in moving beyond trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, stress and becoming the amazing person you are meant to be!

I am a compassionate, interactive, and direct therapist. I provide a supportive, curious and safe environment to facilitate the personal exploration and growth you are committed to achieving.

Congratulations on taking the first step to learning more about yourself! The first step toward change is often the hardest yet one of the most courageous acts you can do. I work with clients to create more fulfillment, trust, joy, and deeper connections within themselves, and their relationships. I meet people where they are, listen with a non-judgmental ear, provide unconditional positive regard, and create a safe space for healing and processing.

I am very interested in helping you find relief. Whether it is a feeling of powerlessness, or feeling stuck I am interested in getting it resolved painlessly and easily. When previous disturbing experiences continue to cause problematic sensations and thoughts I can resolve that as well without re-living it. To this end, I and certified and use Rapid Resolution Therapy (R) Created by Dr. Jon Connelly. www.rapidresolutiontherapy.com

I work with Adults aged 18-64 who suffer from symptoms of anxiety, depression, past traumas along with obsessive compulsive patterns. These symptoms can hinder people from achieving goals and enjoying healthier relationships. I can help people feel more confident and connected to live their best lives.

Cultivating joy and healthy habits requires creating a consistent space to practice and learn new ways of being. Did you know your mind is more wired to produce anxiety and depression than joy? There is nothing wrong with you! You just didn't learn the skills that generate more joy, calm and acceptance; this is what leads to long-term fulfillment and happiness. Burnout, abandoning your dreams, anxiety, overwhelm, feeling lost, an extra glass of wine-all can lead to a vicious cycle of not feeling good. I can help you break that cycle. Integrating the body, breath practices, and neuroscience into therapy helps bring lasting changes.

I am a Summit County native, born and raised in Frisco, CO. I value the unique experience that each client brings to the therapeutic relationship and utilize an eclectic mix of modalities based on the goals of that client. I earned both a Bachelors of Social Work and a Bachelors of Arts in Spanish from Azusa Pacific University in Los Angeles, CA.  From the University of Denver, I earned a Masters of Social Work with a concentration in Children and Youth Resiliency and a certificate in Social Work with Latinos/as. I offer bilingual services in Spanish and English.

I have specializations in working with children, adolescents, young adults, LGBTQ+ affiliates, and families (with children and teens under the age of 18). I have worked with youth, adolescents, and adults (with and without) different abilities within mental health, educational, community, and non-profit settings.

Welcome! I want to honor the position you are in that led you to seek support. Maybe you are feeling stuck in life, or are experiencing grief or depression or anxiety, or are having difficulties in a relationship, maybe past trauma has left you feeling scared or ungrounded. I want to acknowledge that by reaching out for support you have already stepped into a place of courage, strength and healing. I see my role as a guide. A guide to support and assist you on your journey toward balance, health, recovery, and deep connection with life. I invite you to contact me to begin the journey… I look forward to hearing from you.

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. You might be initially hesitant to seek out help and support for personal matters, but when you do, you will feel confident that you are taking a courageous first step towards getting to a better place and being a better you.

The desire to be connected to others is innate, and yet we sometimes find ourselves alone, hopeless, sad, scared, and angry. I believe that being connected to ourselves and others is part of the human experience, and recovery from symptoms that interrupt our ability to live our lives to the fullest is possible. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals who struggle with issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I believe change and insight are possible, and freedom from pain and suffering is attainable.

I am proud to offer Couples & Individual therapy that helps each client generate insight into what is working, what is not working, and how to collaboratively work towards your goals for change. I use an integrated and collaborative therapy approach that highlights exploration, introspection, insight, healing, and growth.
