Getting to know Marissa Sala

I have over a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults from multicultural backgrounds. I am passionate about working with those struggling with anxiety and interpersonal/familial issues. I also have extensive experience providing clients with leave of absence support. I worked in an organization providing this support directly as well. I assist my clients in navigating barriers to completing their job responsibilities and can provide supporting documentation as needed.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is very collaborative; my goal is meet you where you are, nurture your strengths, and together, develop a plan to reach your goals. I help clients work through emotion dysregulation that occurs from mood, anxiety and other disorders, as well as the demands of our face-paced, sometimes stressful, world. I primarily use frameworks from CBT and DBT to target emotional distress and intrusive negative thinking.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Together we'll create a comfortable, culturally sensitive environment where you can work on increasing self-compassion through understanding your thoughts and behaviors. Using validation and change strategies, I hope to guide you to achieve your goals and build meaning in your life. We develop a therapeutic relationship through weekly sessions of talk therapy, where. you are provided a space to express your thoughts, feelings and work on real ways to make change in your life.
