Marisa is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California

Hello! I am Marisa Swain, a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who has been working in the field since 2015. As someone who strongly feels that everyone deserves to be able to understand themselves, I would love to challenge you to build insight into what makes you who you are and to find the direction you may be looking for. My approach to therapy is derived from evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral, internal family systems, and narrative therapies. I specialize in a variety of areas, including anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship issues, and more. I have specialized training and experience in coaching caregivers of students with mental health needs, including improving communication and defining common goals and behavioral strategies at home. I apply this experience to all clients. I am here to support and guide you in your journey toward emotional well-being and self-understanding. We are complex, so there is no one answer to anything, and I encourage you to come to therapy with an open mind and to learn to consider multiple possibilities and perspectives in what gives you meaning.
