Marisa is an exceptional social worker. I cannot recommend her enough. She is patient, kind and easy to talk to. She is supportive and gives great feedback when needed.
Excellent communication, and she took my son at the last minute as a new patient. Most therapists would have turned him away. Greatly appreciate her!

Marisa is absolutely wonderful!! Her nurturing and caring personality makes it so easy to talk to her and trust her. Her expertise in the field of social work is outstanding and helps in providing a wide range of help and resources as needed. I highly recommend anyone to see Marisa, especially those who may be hesitant to start therapy as she will make you feel comfortable and heard!
When starting with a new therapist, you don't realize how much you value certain aspects of someone's character until someone like Marisa demonstrates them with the utmost grace. Something simple like being super efficient is usually overlooked, but Marisa was able to provide her support without making me feel rushed through our session. She also has such a kind and personable energy that makes you feel safe to talk freely with her. Marisa is so easy to talk to and genuinely makes you feel heard. I highly recommend Marisa for anyone new to therapy as it can be intimidating at first, but she will help with the transition and make you feel comfortable and happy with your decision to get started. She is a breath of fresh air!
Overall this was a great experience! Marisa was caring, thoughtful and truly made me comfortable and heard. If you’re looking for someone who’s going to put their clients first, I recommend Marisa!
My experience with Marisa was very positive. She is very thoughtful and knowledge when speaking with others. I appreciated all of her help!
My experience with Marisa is always one of compete fulfillment. I feel supported, heard, and leave each time feeling more confident and in control. She takes such a paced and individualistic approach in my treatment planning to support my short term and long term goals. I feel like I can be my true self with full transparency. I feel like she takes into consideration my trauma history every step of the way to support the way I am impacted by this world. I look forward every week to the safe space she is able to provide to foster my healing journey.
Marisa creates such a welcoming and positive environment where I am able to speak freely and openly. As a therapist she is engaging, encouraging, and teaches different tools on how to better myself. I would definitely recommend Marisa!
Marisa has made such a positive impact on my life by being the first practitioner to truly listen. I feel safe opening up to her because she creates a judge-free environment where my growth feels like the number one priority. I can't recommend working with Marisa enough. She's honest, patient and more attentive than anyone I've worked with in the past. I leave our sessions feeling validated, refreshed and stable thanks to her guidance and attention.
