Marissa Gandee

Marissa works with adults navigating some of life's most difficult terrain: Social anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship concerns, life transitions, and the deeply personal work of growth and self-discovery. She approaches therapy as a true collaboration, believing that the best outcomes emerge when clients feel genuinely heard and when the work is tailored to who they are, not a one-size-fits-all framework.

At the heart of her work is a commitment to creating space where people feel safe enough to be honest, both with their therapist and with themselves. Whether you're seeking support for a specific concern or looking to develop deeper self-awareness, Marissa meets you where you are and works alongside you toward something more fulfilling and authentic.

Marissa is 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming. She believes that feeling respected and understood isn't a luxury in therapy, it's a foundation. She is committed to creating an inclusive space where every client feels seen, supported, and honored throughout their therapeutic journey.

Outside of the therapy room, Marissa is a photographer with a deep love for capturing the world around her. She finds joy in spending time with her partner, friends, and
family, exploring museums, supporting the arts in all its forms, and losing herself in good music. These parts of her life inform her work in quiet but meaningful ways- a belief in beauty, in community, and in the value of paying close attention.
