Autism Testing in Texas

A Safe Space for Healing, Even When Words Aren’t Enough Virtual therapy shouldn't feel like a chore—it should feel like a relief. As a "chameleon" clinician, I adapt my energy to meet your child exactly where they are. Whether they are shut down or acting out in fear, I create a non-judgmental space where even the "scariest" emotions are welcome. I specialize in working with children and teens navigating the aftermath of physical and sexual abuse. I know that trauma often looks like anger or violence; I see that as a cry for safety, not a "bad kid." My Tools: Art & Play Therapy: I use my own healing journey as a bridge. The art you see behind me was my voice when I suppressed my own pain for years. I help kids use creativity to speak when words feel impossible. Mindfulness & CBT: We work on grounding the body and reclaiming control over "big" thoughts and reactions. Our Partnership: Healing from trauma is a team effort. I don’t just work with your child; I partner with you to turn our sessions into a roadmap for safety and peace at home. Let’s work together to help your child find their voice and heal their inner self.

Marissa is an authentic and warm mental health counselor who graduated from Liberty University with a passion for helping others heal. She uses CBT to uncover the roots of trauma, anxiety, depression, and maladaptive behaviors. She is direct yet nonjudgmental and offers Christian-integrated care when desired. She also enjoys working with children, using emotion-focused approaches to build resilience and self-esteem.

Getting started with counseling can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. I believe therapy should be a safe, relaxed space where clients feel comfortable sharing, exploring, and growing. Counseling can also be engaging and even enjoyable. For those who feel uneasy with traditional talk therapy, I often incorporate activities into sessions to help clients feel more at ease while still encouraging open and meaningful conversation. I take a client-centered approach, believing that clients are the most important people in the room. Drawing from cognitive-behavior therapy, narrative therapy, and other evidence-based modalities, I tailor each treatment plan to meet the unique needs of the individual. My role is not to “fix” clients, but to provide practical tools, insight, and support that empower them to create lasting change, healing, and growth.

She empowers clients to uncover strengths, build coping skills, and create meaningful change.

Every adult deserves to feel at home in their own skin. As a Baylor-educated therapist and veteran, I specialize in trauma-informed care for those navigating the weight of PTSD, anxiety, or major life transitions. By providing a non-judgmental, grounded environment, I help my clients move past 'just surviving' and into a life that feels authentic and joyful. Let’s work together to rediscover your strength and move forward with purpose.
