"Empowering Your Mental Health Journey With Integrated Care"
Hello! I’m Marissa. Thank you for reading my bio. I have been a licensed professional counselor for the past 13 years, dedicating my career to working with at-risk youth in Flint. My goal is to empower these young people and their families to reach their full potential.
Over the years, I have worked with youth facing a variety of challenges, including running away, anger issues, experiences of abuse, adoption, truancy, and other difficult situations. I am particularly passionate about helping young people dealing with depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues. I have also received extensive training in topics such as trauma-informed care and suicide awareness, which are essential in my practice.
In my counseling sessions, I employ a combination of talk therapy, activities, and educational components. As someone who has experienced similar challenges in the past, I understand the importance of therapy in fostering healing and growth.
I believe in a strengths-based, client-centered approach to therapy. By utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, I help individuals understand and process their thoughts and emotions, which is crucial for recovery from past trauma. It is also important to learn how to cope with overwhelming and negative emotions.
Are you ready to reach your full potential? Let’s get started!
