Marissa Wilson, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Marissa!

Everyone can benefit from additional support, and my goal is to partner with others at any stage of life. I have experience working with adults managing anxiety, depression, and stress from work or school. I work to understand each individual's unique needs and strengths to overcome obstacles and challenges.

My focus

I have experience working with college-aged clients to assist in alleviating the impact of various stressors that contribute to depression and anxiety, and incorporate practical tools that can be used every day. I am willing to see individuals and couples.

My approach

I use various techniques depending on each individual's particular needs and incorporate CBT, client-centered, and solution-focused approaches. I am trained in Trauma-focused CBT and have experience with individuals and couples dealing with various issues. My goal is to provide effective support and tools that create lasting change.

My communication style

I believe in creating a warm, collaborative environment where you feel heard and understood. My communication style is direct but empathetic, focusing on your unique needs and experiences. I ask questions to gain deeper insight into your challenges while providing feedback and tools to support your growth and well-being.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a passion for helping others and am dedicated to understanding each individual's needs to provide support in pursuit of living a fulfilled and healthy life.

My goals for you

Caring for yourself isn't always easy or convenient, but it is important in connecting to your full potential. My availability is flexible, and I can work to create an ideal schedule.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on understanding your current concerns and what brings you to therapy. I'll ask questions to learn about your background, strengths, and goals. Together, we'll begin to identify practical steps and tools that align with your needs, creating a foundation for our work together.
