"I can't thank Marisa enough! She has equipped me with the tools I needed to feel confident in motherhood and work through the overwhelming thoughts and feelings that I had after experiencing birth trauma and a seemingly never ending NICU experience. She validated all of the feelings I had and helped me more than I thought was possible. I now feel more than capable to navigate new mom life and everything that comes with it." -Sadie

Marisa has a way of making her clients feel heard and seen without judgement. She has such a kind and gentle spirit. She is very loving and empathetic and always made me feel supported in a safe space. She helped me to develop positive coping skills throughout my life. I considered our time together such a gift and felt honored and privileged to be able to be her client. She truly has impacted my life and I will always remember her and be thankful to her." - Claudia

"Working with Marisa is a recalibration, she brings me back to equilibrium by teaching me to identify my negative thought patterns and raise my awareness to it. She is helping me be who I aspire to be rather than playing small. She helps me acknowledge how far I’ve come, I feel like opportunities are now open to me.” -Paula

"What Marisa does for the soul is something incredible. It is truly a gift to have the support, guidance and care that she offers. For the first time in a long time, she has helped me see a light that I did not even know existed." -Dani 

"I don’t even know how to put into words how amazing Marisa is. Her approach and level of empathy for her clients is something that is unparalleled to others. Marisa understood my resistance to opening up and had such a soft and caring approach. Marisa changed my life forever and I now hold a very special place in my heart for her. She is one of the most amazing people I have ever come across in my life & whomever she crosses paths with is touched forever. I highly recommend Marisa for whatever your needs may be! - Shana 

"Before I worked with Marisa my life was consumed with negative feelings that I was too scared to feel.  I was full of guilt and shame. And now? I'm not the same woman that I was. I have a different outlook, I have the ability to find joy in my imperfect life. Marisa was the first person I was able to be real with. Miraculously, now I can deal with whatever life throws at me as it comes because of the work we have done."-Emma 

“Marisa comes to our sessions with a warm demeanor but also isn’t afraid to call bullshit or challenge my views right away. Since I'm a nerd for learning and interested in psychology, Marisa even guides our sessions in a way that educates me with terminology, theories and examples I would never be able to find in the classroom or at work. What I once thought of as a chore or weakness to talk about my feelings has actually become my new thick skin—forgiving the past and realizing the future is whatever I dream it to be.” -Dana  

“From our very first phone conversation I felt comfortable right away with her. G-d sent her to me! She has great empathy for her clients. And she taught me to think for myself, play the tape through and trust my gut. She reinstilled my faith in myself. I feel so much stronger as a result of our work together and I'm so grateful! Thank you so much Marisa." -Carly

“I am so grateful to Marisa for teaching me not to be judgmental of negative feelings and emotions I have and give myself permission to feel." - Stephanie

“On February 14th, 2018 the most horrible and heartbreaking tragedy took place at my high school. As reluctant as I was to the concept of therapy, after one session with Marisa, I knew that I was getting the proper support I needed. Marisa was extremely easy to connect with. I looked forward to my weekly session with her because she not only listened and heard me, but was able to truly guide me out of living in fear and help me live happier. Marisa was able to help me with daily struggles related to my PTSD. Thanks to Marisa, I now am able to live each day more fully with skills that help me cope with the trauma I have experienced.” -Stoneman Douglas Survivor

“I would highly recommend Marisa. I honestly can say she has changed my life so much. I have suffered from abuse and trauma and so much more. She has made me realize so many things I didn't realize before she has helped me become a stronger woman and changed my world! Love her!!! The best!" -Ashley
