Marisa White, M.A., LAPC, is a compassionate therapist dedicated to helping children, teens, and adults navigate life’s challenges. She specializes in trauma, eating disorders, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, OCD, and self-worth concerns. Marisa believes therapy isn’t about being “broken”—it’s about gaining support and tools to move forward. No one has to handle life’s struggles alone.

Who She Helps

• Children: Big feelings like fear, anger, or sadness can be confusing. Marisa creates a safe space for kids to express emotions, build confidence, and learn healthy coping skills.
• Teens: Juggling school, relationships, and self-identity can feel overwhelming. Marisa helps teens navigate these challenges, offering support and strategies for self-understanding and emotional resilience.
• Adults: With the weight of work, family, and responsibilities, life can feel exhausting. Marisa works with adults to find balance, build coping strategies, and regain a sense of peace.

Her Approach to Therapy

Marisa tailors therapy to each client’s needs, offering a variety of approaches:

• Humanistic Therapy – Focusing on strengths and personal growth.
• Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) – Changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
• Motivational Interviewing (MI) – Helping clients find their own reasons for change.
• Trauma-Informed Care – Healing from past experiences in a safe, supportive way.
• Virtual Reality Therapy – Using technology to support anxiety and trauma work.
• Therapy through Play – Helping children process emotions through play.
• Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) – Supporting individuals with OCD in facing fears and reducing compulsions.

Marisa provides a caring, nonjudgmental space where clients can process their emotions, build coping skills, and gain confidence. Her goal is to help each person improve their well-being, develop emotional resilience, and live a healthier, more fulfilling life.
