Meet Marisa
Marisa Mabli, LCSW (NY)
she/her
I am a licensed social worker (LCSW) who provides individual and group therapy virtually to older teens and emerging and older adults. I support my clients through life’s challenges and periods of growth and evolution, using a trauma-informed, intersectional lens. I strive to be a warm and engaging therapist who sees it as a privilege to accompany my clients through their life’s difficulties, accomplishments, and times of change.
As a therapist and a human, my primary value is compassion for others. This means I take into account our identities and lived experiences when working together. I recognize how my clients are impacted by the larger world socially, culturally, and politically, and how these contribute to their emotional and mental health. I don’t see a client’s concerns as an individual problem, rather quite often an understandable response to a stressful and chaotic world. I am also another person in the “room,” not an expert or a silent observer. Being a person who lives in, and is also impacted by, this world allows me to connect, relate, and support even when clients' lived experiences are very different from mine.
From this foundation, some of the work I do is with folks exploring gender identity and sexuality, eating and body image issues, substance use through a harm reduction lens, and life transitions. Sometimes clients want to talk about their week, at other times they want to unburden themselves from past traumas. I make the space for both and much more, all without judgment. I know one size does not fit all, and people are working to figure out how to live a more authentic and fulfilling life. I am committed to helping clients understand themselves better and manage anxiety, depression, and other struggles within that context. I support clients in developing a deeper sense of self-compassion and peace with who they are, all the while challenging harmful internalized thoughts and beliefs thrust upon us.
