Marisa Santelli, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Marisa!

I have a deep passion for helping others, and I hope to help you accomplish your goals and to live the life you desire.

My focus

I have typically worked with individuals, couples, and family work.

My approach

Most commonly in my practice, I use CBT, mindfulness, and person-centered therapeutic approaches.

My communication style

I try to create an understanding and warm atmosphere that allows clients to feel comfortable sharing their most intimate parts of themselves.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started my education in teaching but always had such a passion for helping others problem-solve and feel heard and understood. I changed my path to psychology in order to have a career focused on making a difference in the lives of others.

My goals for you

I work with clients to start with identifying attainable goals that are relevant to the way they want to feel and live during their everyday lives.

Our first session

During our first session, you should expect to share your goals for therapy, some of your history, and rapport building to establish trust and a foundation to continue to work together.
