Override Hero Title

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, or life changes, you don’t have to go through it alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports adults managing depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, and health challenges, bringing extensive mental health experience and exposure to the medical field to guide you with insight and compassion.

Nice to meet you! I am a social worker with over a decade of experience providing clinical care. I received my Master of Social Work from Hunter College and have completed post-graduate training in Sex Therapy with Ackerman Institute for the Family.

My experience is working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and neurodivergence, particularly at the intersection of relationships, gender, and sexual orientation. I work with all adult individuals and specialize in CNM and kink.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 30 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety,depression,trauma and major life transitions. I work with adults, couples and lead groups, providing a thoughful and supportive space to explore challenges and create meaningful change.

My approach combines psychodynamic therapy with practical, goal oriented strategies. Together, we look not only at current symptoms, but also at deeper patterns-how past experiences,relationships, and stress shape the way you feel and respond today.

I also integrate body-awareness and trauma-informed techniques to help regulate stress,improve emotional resilience, and support long-term healing.

Many of my clients come to therapy during periods of uncertanty-after the diagnosis,loss, relationship changes, or when life no longer feels aligned. Therapy becomes the place to slow down, understand what is happening internally, and begin moving forward with more clarity and stability

What I can help with :

Anxiety and Chronic stress

Depression and low motivation

Trauma and past experiences

Relationship and family issues

Life transitions and identity changes

ADHD and focus challenges

Hi there! My name is Marisa Ciaravino a licensed clinician in the state of New York. I pride myself in my ability to ensure my clients feel safe, heard and cared for.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. It is my goal to provide a safe space for my clients to feel supported, respected and challenged. I have been working in this field since 2001 with diverse population's. I have worked with client's with a variety of mental health issues, such as Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, and Trauma. Beyond the credentials and education I just want to help people move forward. I believe that everyone wants and deserves to be heard and understood.

In life's greatest challenge lies the greatest potential for helping others. My trajectory as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) changed after navigating the challenging path to parenthood. This includes completing EMDR training and doula training; and I'm enrolled in PSI's perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C) training to be completed later this year. My passion is supporting people from conception through postpartum and beyond.

To listen to another person's story and be a part of the process of their progress is my mission. I have always been curious about human interactions and the story that someone tells. As a psychotherapist, I see that working with the human psyche in the Western world can present challenges. A place where "wellness" is fostered with approaches that seek to eliminate undesired behaviors and thought patterns. Instead I work in a way that welcomes all aspects of you and and your personality. I bring a compassionate and curious approach to facilitating your journey toward understanding yourself more deeply and moving toward change.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist based in New York, working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and questions of meaning.My clinical training includes CBT, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based approaches, along with certification in psychedelic-assisted therapy through CIIS and MAPS. I also have experience supporting clients around identity, immigration, and cross-cultural experiences, and offer therapy in both English and Russian.

I believe prioritizing mental health is key to stability in life. I know there is a better world out there and people need the tools to connect with their upmost insight for mental well being. In this field I am always eager to research and find healing processes to tailor the need of each individual.
