About Me

​

​

Hello I’m Marisa and welcome to my website!

I work with adults and adolescents to help with their struggles

with eating disorders, anxiety, depression and life transitions.

 

I practice both in person and provide Telehealth therapy sessions

from my office in Ramsey New Jersey. I’m a licensed professional

counselor in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and South Carolina

and have been working in the field since 2013. I have experience in

multiple settings and levels of care from partial hospitalization to

intensive outpatient. I’ve worked with teenagers struggling with

depression and anxiety and have helped college age clients adjust

to new found independence. Additionally, I support adults in

their recovery from eating disorders and other addictive behaviors.

 

I use primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to

teach skills that can be practiced in between sessions.

I’ll help you gain the tools and techniques to regain control over your

thoughts, feelings and life.

 

I work collaboratively with individuals to help identify and master coping skills to help reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and to help reframe negative thinking. We will work together to improve communication skills and learn how to set healthy boundaries in relationships.

 

As a licensed professional counselor I create a safe confidential space for clients to feel heard. I work to identify and nurture your strengths so you are able to make better decisions and take better care of your needs.

 

I'm a member of the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC), the National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists (NACBT), the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP).
