Getting to know Marisusan Fryant
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in mental health care for seniors in Virginia and North Carolina, I have dedicated my career to addressing depression, anxiety, ADHD, and chronic insomnia-a significant concern among older adults. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University, which laid the foundation for my evidence-based, empathetic approach to care. At the Virginia Sleep Center, I integrate clinical expertise with compassionate support across outpatient, hospital, and hospice settings, ensuring personalized care tailored to each individual's unique circumstances. Beyond clinical practice, my passion for horseback riding informs my belief in the mind-body connection, enriching my therapeutic approach. I empower clients with practical strategies to improve sleep and mental health, utilizing cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. Witnessing clients regain control over their well-being is immensely rewarding and inspires my ongoing professional growth through continuous education and staying current with advancements in mental health care. My goal is to provide culturally sensitive care that fosters empowerment and positive change, enriching the lives of seniors and adults facing mental health challenges.
