Marisa Stackpoole

I have a passion for collaboratively working with people in my community to achieve their mental health goals. My past life experiences and education have allowed me to grow through challenges and serve my clients with a well-rounded approach, attentive to the root cause of symptoms. With a person-centered foundation, I am aware each client is unique and deserves an individually tailored treatment plan to fit their needs. I enjoy getting to know each client by creating a safe space to express and process experiences at their own pace. When therapeutically appropriate I utilize scientifically evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Existential Therapy to increase self-awareness, autonomy and lasting change. With a history as a yoga instructor and being a creative individual, I can also integrate mindfulness approaches, art therapy modalities and sound into counseling sessions if clients would like.

I value working with diverse populations and advocating for clients when needed. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults dealing with adjustment challenges, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. I understand life can be complicated with many hardships handed to us. The daily demands and changes we face individually and as a society can lead us to our lowest point, making it hard to have the strength to reach out for support. When you are ready to take the next step toward well-being, know it would be my honor to facilitate you on this new journey. I look forward to working with you!
