Therapist Profile:

Marissa Robinson, LMHC

SHE/HER

Clinical Director

I believe everybody deserves a space to recharge, reconnect and refuel, especially in chaotic New York City. I support my clients in identifying and attaining their full potential. I know my clients are doing their best, and may still be met with panic, messy transitions, anxious thoughts, insecurities, feelings of overwhelm, questions about their future, and relationship issues that may disrupt their daily lives. This is where therapy comes in. 

Through my experiential, strengths-based and relational approach, I work through past emotional experiences, life/career transitions, anxiety, sexuality/intimacy issues, wellness & self-care, as well as the relationship with yourself & others. You can expect to leave sessions feeling connected, empowered, clear on your needs, strengths and emotions. 

  • I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Family Science and a minor in Human Development at University of Maryland, College Park. I then pursued my masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Johns Hopkins University. I graduated with honors in my cohort in addition to completing all necessary course work, trainings and testing to receive my license in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

  • What is your favorite self-care tip/way to wrap up the end of a long day: Taking a long walk always helps me wrap up the day because I am moving my body, breathing in the air, and allowing myself to let go of the emotions of the day. For me, movement is key!

    What is one thing that always brings a smile to your face?

    My dog, Tucker, and cooking a homemade dinner for myself after a long day :)
