A beautiful process is becoming.

Change isn’t easy. It might be exciting, it might be painful, it might be unnerving, but it is never easy. It’s never going to be perfect, but it is going to be different.

I have been a client of Marissa’s for close to two years now and it has been nothing short of a blessing. In the course of the last 8 years of my life I’ve dealt with severe anxiety, however looking back I can see how much lighter my mental load has been since seeing Marissa. She’s given me the space to share my open wounds, heal, and has even given me tools to rebuild my world. She’s compassionate but also practical in her methods to help you reach a resolve.

Quote Mark Icon

I have had the honor of being a client of Marissa’s or as I call her Dr. G for close to 2 years now and in that short amount of time I have been fortunate to grow, evolve, and mature as a young lady. When starting my search for a therapist I was intentional about wanting an African American female who would understand my background and culture, someone who would hold me accountable and help me to grow in the areas I needed to. Dr. G has been that and more! Not only do I recognize my growth so do those closest to me. I’m grateful to God for connecting me with such a compassionate, caring, and all around awesome counselor!

Working with Marissa has been a blessing in disguise. When I was at the lowest point of my life Marissa was encouraging and patient with me. She not only brings her expertise in mental health from a therapist standpoint but is very relatable and has a strong understanding of the issues I have brought to her. Marissa quickly gave me coping tactics and tools to utilize outside of sessions and assured me that I was strong enough to overcome any challenging moments I’ve endured. Lastly, Marissa is responsive, communicative, and trustworthy by ensuring I feel comfortable and safe in the space we’ve created. I would recommend Marissa to anyone seeking therapy services without hesitation.
