Getting to know Marisa Swain

Hello! I am Marisa Swain, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the Wright Institute. I have been working in the field since 2015. I believe everyone deserves to understand themselves, and I would love to challenge you to build insight into what makes you who you are and find the direction you may be seeking. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral, internal family systems, and narrative therapies. I specialize in anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship issues, and more. Additionally, I have specialized training coaching caregivers of students with mental health needs, focusing on improving communication and defining common goals and behavioral strategies at home. I apply this experience to all clients. I am here to support and guide you on your journey toward emotional well-being and self-understanding. We are complex, so there is no one answer, and I encourage you to come with an open mind and consider multiple possibilities and perspectives in what gives your life meaning. My approach I typically begin with cognitive-behavioral, internal family systems, and narrative approaches but let your goals direct where we go. I have worked behaviorally with families, creating behavior plans toward common goals, including weekly goal tracking and structured, solution-focused work. However, progress depends largely on client readiness. Therefore, I rely on the stages of change, scaling measures (such as PCOMS), and motivational interviewing to guide treatment. I also have experience with Nonviolent Communication to retrain and establish healthier communication patterns. My focus Lately, I have been working primarily with children and families, especially caregivers whose child is not accessing education due to mental health issues.
