Hello! My name is Marissa, and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to join you on your therapeutic journey!
I’m currently completing my Master’s in Counselling and Psychology at Yorkville University and have been given the amazing opportunity to do my practicum at Journey Well Health and Wellness. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).
I have over six years of experience working with people in mental health, community development, and engagement. I’ve had the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors from many different backgrounds and with a variety of challenges. For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals with developmental and physical disabilities, mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder, as well as addictions. I absolutely love the work I do, and I’m especially excited to expand that support through therapy and help people create meaningful, positive change in their lives.
I believe therapy is your space. My goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself, explore what’s going on, and work toward the things that matter most to you. I’m here to support you and your goals—and to help you remember that it’s okay to choose yourself, too!
My approach is strengths-based, with a focus on self-esteem and recognizing the strengths you already have. I’m particularly interested in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
