Clinical Supervision and Licensed Supervisors Therapists in 19027

Thank you for visiting my profile, my name is Marissa and I am passionate about helping and encouraging others. Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental, unconditionally supportive environment where people can unburden, increase self-understanding and collaboratively heal and grow in line with their personal needs. Whether it is a past hurt, present problem or decision(s) that must be made, I can provide you with a safe and compassionate space combined with skilled expertise in order to help you not only understand yourself better, but also figure out the path that is right for you.

Are you feeling stuck, lost, or worried about your future? I work with people who are struggling with grief and other life transitions who yearn for a new beginning. My ideal client is someone who views their life through a spiritual perspective. I also provide Clinical Supervision to LSWs seeking their LCSW and credentialed LCSWs. My areas of specialty include grief and loss, relationship concerns, Adult Children of Alcoholics , self-esteem , giftedness in adults, and life transitions. I also assist those who are working on career issues and those striving to be their authentic selves.

I hold space for adults who are healing from childhood trauma, racial trauma, and gendered trauma. Trauma means that you've faced deeply stressful events that have left significant physical, emotional, or spiritual scars. Each person's encounter with trauma is unique, but universally, the body becomes an alarm system, indicating when a traumatic event has occurred. Trauma can disrupt your sleep and hijack your thought processes, often anchoring you in a state of constant fear or anger. Together, we'll embark on a journey to discover strategies that ground your body and help you regain a a sense of safety.

Do you feel so overwhelmed by life that it is discouraging? Has some of your past traumas shown up in your recent relationships? Are you in a place where no matter how hard you tried, you just can't seem to find happiness? Do you feel like everything has come crashing down all at once? Do you need someone to help you navigate your way through things? If your answer is yes to any of these, schedule a free consultation with me today. I can help to empower you to work through these challenges while finding your peace.

Do you have an Invisible disability like Anxiety, Migraines or Learning Disorder. Traumatic experience & stress will leave you feeling at a loss, especially in the Black & Brown disAbility community. If "Carrying it all" while presenting for others is draining you, then its time to be heard seen & valued while healing at your own pace Life doesn't come with a manual neither do you, but with patience & individualized plan the journey to evolution is limitless. Being a parent or student trying to balance life has its struggles when you are trying to advocate & positively learn about you! Take back control & emit your MAGIC!

I successfully work with adults, adolescents, children, and families by using evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Mindfulness, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral (TF-CBT), and Eco-Systemic Family (ESFT) therapies. I implement these techniques by personalizing them to your specific therapeutic journey so that you and your family can learn the skills needed to persevere over depression, anxiety, and trauma while also mastering interventions that can aid you in improving your communication and social skills.

Everyone including me, is going through or has gone through something at some point in their life. And when we do, sometimes we just need a little support, a little encouragement, a listening and caring ear or a little guidance and push in the right direction. We don't want to be judged but we want someone to understand. We want someone who is going to be there for us and support us in making the best decisions for our next step or transition in life. No matter your circumstance, we can and will get through this together and it all starts with a conversation, so let's have one...

Are your partner, parents or children driving you crazy? Our counselors can show you how to enjoy the best of your family while learning to let go of the parts that interfere with your happiness. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, or make the same self-defeating relationship mistakes repeatedly, we'd like to work with you to break these cycles and enjoy life. Are you a first responder or veteran? Talk therapy won't help. We provide evidence-based EMDR. You deserve a counselor with the training and experience to help resolve the problems that bring you to therapy, heal old wounds and deepen the bonds you already share.

To me, therapy is a precious gift we give ourselves. It's an invaluable tool that enables us to enrich and make sense of our lives. During times of uncertainty, it can help us find comfort and clarity. I believe that human beings have an innate ability to create, know, and love our lives and ourselves. I work with my clients to build a supportive relationship outside the context of their family or loved ones. Together, we explore and seek self-understanding. We use creativity as our vehicle to stay open to possibility even in the most challenging of circumstances.
