Background and Experience
Marissa works with children, pre-teens, adolescents, adults, and families. She has worked in several private practice settings in the Dallas area. Prior to working as an LPC-Associate, she obtained experience working as a registered behavior technician and provided applied behavior analysis therapy to children with autism spectrum disorder. Marissa enjoys working with individuals that struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, anger-management, grief/loss, and bullying. Her theoretical approach is cognitive behavioral therapy, although she believes every client is different and is open-minded to fit the needs of her clients.
Marissa is bilingual and can provide counseling services in both Spanish/English.
Personal Statement
Working as a behavior technician for 3 years guided me on the path to continue expanding my career interests and providing support to others. As I began my graduate school education in clinical mental health counseling, I knew becoming a counselor had a special place in my heart. My role as a counselor is to create a safe space for clients. I am here to guide and support you in your journey, together we will be a team.
