Marisa Patel

Hi there, I'm Marisa!

You aren't feeling like yourself, or perhaps you're trying to figure out who 'yourself' is. You've become distant from friends and family, can't focus on work or school, and are constantly worrying about the future. I'll help you identify and shift emotions, thoughts, and patterns keeping you stuck.

My focus

I work with teens, emerging adults, and adults navigating life transitions, academic or occupational stress, and wanting to gain insight into their patterns of behavior and work through trapped emotions. I have a special interest in working with the South Asian community.

My approach

I value collaboration, warmth, humor, and willingness to step out of your comfort zone. I utilize attachment-based, cognitive behavioral, dialectical, emotionally focused, mindfulness-based, Gottman method, solution-focused, and psychodynamic modalities to help you understand yourself more deeply and create meaningful change.
