About
My personal experience with trauma and loss was the catalyst for a major career change and was completely life altering. From there, I was drawn to a profession in healing. It has given me an authentic understanding of how we are impacted by painful life experiences and the ability to connect with my clients on a meaningful level. My own experiences have made me resilient, something that I wish for is to support my clients in empowerment, and to find their own resilience along the healing journey.
I am glad you are here. I'm Marissa, an LCSW with over a decade of clinical experience in mental health. I graduated from NYU's Silver School of Social Work in 2016 with honors. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in law serving underserved populations, but found it difficult to make the impact I wanted, so I pivoted to this more balanced career. I bring knowledge of modalities like psychodynamic psychotherapy, EMDR, DBT, and CBT, along with a broad lens on systems from my law background. I am warm, relational, and love seeing my clients make progress. You will have my undivided attention and a safe space in every session.
My areas of focus include addiction—I've worked in detox, inpatient, and outpatient programs, and served as Clinical Director for two outpatient programs. Addiction and mental health often go hand-in-hand, so I treat both concurrently. I use EMDR for trauma, CBT and DBT for emotion regulation, and a psychoanalytic/psychodynamic approach in sessions.
Please do not hesitate to take this step with me. You will feel safe, heard, seen, assured, and positive in the initial session and following. I invite you to reach out and start your journey with me.

Breakup therapy from our Thriveworks Knoxville therapists helps people process the loss that comes with a breakup. In addition, it can help them to better understand what was wrong as well as what was right in their relationship so that they’re able to move forward.
Breakup therapy works by offering a safe space for people to explore the pain and changes that can accompany a breakup. It also works by equipping individuals with healthy coping mechanisms such as self-reflection and relaxation techniques to replace harmful (or maladaptive) coping mechanisms.
Breakup therapy from the therapists at Thriveworks in Knoxville, TN is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The amount of breakup therapy sessions will vary from one person to the next, depending on their specific needs. However, it typically lasts for several weeks or months.
It is usually not a good experience to break up from one’s lover, partner or spouse. A lot of emotions are involved in the process: Some people could be very sad, disappointed or betrayed. But life must go on. You must find a way to embrace a peaceful, new life.
Sometimes, that involves working with a mental health professional to heal and move forward. Thriveworks Knoxville has breakup counselors here and available to help. Reach out today to get started.
Some or all of the symptoms below are common to people going through relationship breakups:
