 Welcome

 Life can feel overwhelming when emotions take over and clarity feels out of reach. I believe meaningful change is possible for everyone, regardless of circumstance. Through an authentic and supportive approach, I help clients gain perspective, feel more grounded, and move forward with confidence.

Hello, I’m Marissa.

I’m Marissa, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate and the founder of MRH Therapy.

Above all else, I’m a person navigating this world—just like you. I believe therapy works best when it’s grounded in authenticity, not distance, and I bring my genuine self into every session.

My work is informed by both my clinical training and lived experience. I earned my MA in Mental Health Counseling from Montclair State University in 2019 and have over seven years of experience supporting adults, adolescents, and families. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem.

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy connecting with nature (especially on walks with my dog, Franklin), running, trying new restaurants, traveling, and binging a new TV show.

You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin therapy. Though your experience is always unique, these are some of the areas I commonly support.
