Marissa Kendall
Pre-Licensed Associate, Therapist
I believe in the power of feeling seen and supported. As humans, we are wired for connection, and growth happens when we feel safe enough to be vulnerable. Often, what’s needed is an environment where emotions are not just acknowledged but truly understood. As a therapist, I strive to create a space where you feel secure enough to explore, heal, and reconnect with yourself.
My own experience with therapy and the profound transformation it brought led me to pursue a master’s in Mental Health Counseling. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Person-Centered principles. I focus on helping clients recognize and reshape emotional patterns, strengthening their connection to themselves and others. By fostering self-compassion and understanding, I support clients in creating more secure, fulfilling relationships—both internally and externally.
I believe that every part of us is shaped by the need for connection and protection. When we learn to approach our emotions with curiosity rather than judgment, we create space for healing and growth. My role is to guide you in deepening your relationship with yourself, helping you move from disconnection to a place of emotional security and wholeness.
