Marissa Romano

I'm Marissa, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate and founder of MRH Therapy. I have a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Montclair State University and a collective 7 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families in both the school and clinical settings. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, interpersonal challenges, and life transitions. I combine person-centered therapy with dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to serve my clients. Person-centered therapy is a collaborative, non-judgmental approach to counseling. DBT is a more structured approach that helps clients manage intense emotions by teaching a variety of core skills for acceptance and change. I believe that we all have the ability to create long-lasting change in our lives, regardless of our circumstances. Our emotions often cloud our ability to think rationally and move forward in a positive direction. I aim to provide an objective, authentic perspective that helps you see your world a little bit clearer and face your challenges without fear.
