Marissa Batie-Collier

My communication style

My communication style is open, empathetic, and direct. I create a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable expressing yourself fully. Sessions are warm, supportive, and empowering, involving active listening, guidance, and practical tools.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a person with lived experiences of trauma from adverse childhood experiences, I find fulfillment in guiding individuals through difficult times and witnessing their growth. I am motivated by the opportunity to make a positive impact on people's lives, empowering them to overcome obstacles and build resilience.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative process. We identify your unique goals and create a roadmap to achieve them, breaking larger goals into smaller, achievable steps. We set both short-term and long-term goals that are realistic, measurable, and aligned with your values.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll establish a foundation for our therapeutic relationship. I'll create a comfortable and safe space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. We'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, explore your current challenges, and cover confidentiality and treatment goals.
