Do you feel you're struggling to reach a goal or develop satisfying relationships? We can work together to uncover where you're stuck. I can assist you to feel more empowered, authentic and at peace and to live the life your heart yearns for.

Are you ready for a change? I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with an office in Torrance, CA across from the Del Amo Mall. I believe in everyone's ability to live a better life through healing and change in a sportive, caring environment designed to attend personal needs. I provide individual and family therapy to address the many struggles and life issues we all face. My practice includes psychological testing (IQ, SSI, PTSD, Personality, Education, Development, Autism/ADHD diagnosis). I strive to meet every client where they are and tailor specific treatment to facilitate growth and happiness through positive change.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* The fight you had last night was bad. Really bad. Your relationship is in trouble. Your marriage is unraveling. You know when you walk through the door, you’re going to have to finish having “that conversation.” The one you never finished last night because you both needed to “sleep on it.” The one that you know is just going to end with arguing, shouting, crying, and someone walking out of the door. The same argument you’ve been having for years. The one that keeps you awake thinking, "Marriage isn’t supposed to be like this. Other couples don’t fight this much right?"

Both children and adults can benefit from the support of a therapeutic relationship. With over 30 years of experience as a crisis counselor and psychotherapist, I'm passionate about helping people build healthier, more satisfying relationships and lives. My therapeutic approach focuses on reducing stressors and building on strengths by enhancing insight and understanding and ultimately replacing negative behavior and communication patterns with healthier ones. I work with compassion and respect while actively, yet gently guiding clients to progress toward awareness, growth and healing.

Hi! My name is Marissa, and I am truly excited to embark on a journey of growth, understanding, and support. I work on empowering individuals to enhance their emotional well-being through the application of evidence-based practices. Our sessions will be founded on collaboration as we work together to achieve meaningful progress. I am licensed in both Hawai'i and California, specializing in adolescents, families, young adults, and motherhood.

When a loved one dies, or life suddenly changes, the feelings that surface and the adjustments to daily living that are required can be overwhelming. There are times where it is helpful to know that these strong emotions, fears, and physical symptoms are both normal and will lessen over time. This is a time for gentle support and patience. I have worked in the area of grief, loss, and life transition for the last 20 years and have seen repeatedly the resilience of the human spirit.

I believe everything you need to succeed already exists within you. Wherever you are on your wellness journey is exactly where you need to be. I'm here to support, encourage, and challenge you to break free from maladaptive patterns and regain control over your life. If you’re eager to heal your relationship with your body, nurture a stronger sense of self, and cultivate more fulfilling relationships, you’ve come to the right place! My ideal client is someone seeking a deeper, more meaningful therapy experience beyond traditional "talk therapy." They are ready to combine insight with intentional action to create lasting change.

Finding a psychotherapist you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings with can seem like a great challenge. As you search, it is helpful to be mindful of what is bringing you to therapy and what you are wanting from a therapist. When you find someone you think you may be able to bond with, you can talk with them about what you are looking for and if you don't know, ask them how they envision working with you. As a psychologist with over 30 years of experience, I believe that meeting the client where they are is the key to creating a safe and supportive environment conducive to change.

I enjoy working with children, tweens, teenagers, and young adults, from a Play Therapy and CBT perspective.

As Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction/recovery issues and postpartum depression. My area of expertise is supporting woman throughout life stages that may cause imbalance in our lives (loss, hormonal changes, maternal mental health, co-dependency/relationship and parenting challenges). I have a holistic approach in working with clients and cater to each individual's unique needs. You should feel special, safe, and comfortable in processing your specific journey. One of the most important aspects of your journey to success is that you are being heard!

Struggling to cope with a cancer or chronic illness diagnosis? Need help understanding and processing grief or loss? Having relationship issues? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, I can help! I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate space where clients can create long-term positive changes through self-exploration and the development of new perspectives, skills and confidence. In addition to specializing in cancer and illness support, I am also Certified in Thanatology through the Association of Death Education and Counseling, a distinguishing certificate for grief professionals.

It’s not easy being human, and given the additional uncertainty, unease, and stress these past few years, it sure hasn’t gotten any easier. So whether you're feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, stuck, lost, or are struggling in your relationships, including the one with yourself, looking for help makes a lot of sense. Mindset shifts, tools for coping, and emotional support are the heart of what therapy can provide, not to mention simply having a safe space to talk to someone about what you're going through.

My work with clients focuses on supporting individuals through the transformative journey of parenthood, from preconception through postpartum. I am deeply passionate about helping clients repair and rejuvenate their relationships with themselves during this pivotal phase, fostering self-trust, and rediscovering joy and playfulness, which are crucial during the perinatal period.

If you are looking to heal from past pain, end destructive patterns, reconnect with your body, or choose and cultivate meaningful, intimate relationships: Welcome! I work with clients suffering from relational trauma and abuse, grief and loss, PTSD, anxiety, depression, past sexual abuse, and addictions. My ability to guide others is informed by my training but rooted in my own experiences of suffering, and of the utter relief of finding my own healing path.

I have been working in the mental health field for more than 30 years. I work with adult individuals, and couples. Many of the clients I see are struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, relationship problems, work-related problems, stress,and self-esteem.

I has a passion for helping individuals, children, couples and families who have experienced trauma and other adverse life events. I strive to create a safe space, free from judgment, where you can express your fears, worries and concerns. I believe in a collaborative approach, where together, you will discover your strengths and goals. I will use motivation and empowerment to guide you in the direction of a more healthy and meaningful change in your lifestyle and way of thinking.

Intergenerational, attachment, and chronic trauma can leave us feeling an unbearable shame. You may experience hopelessness at how this shows up in your relationships...in how you see yourself. You might believe you don’t deserve any good in your life. Life may have felt this way for longer than you can remember, but now you feel something needs to change. You want to embody a life that aligns with your values. You’re ready to challenge the story you tell yourself. Most of all, you’re ready to discover yourself as a whole human being. You may not feel like it now, but you have a lot to contribute to this world.
