# Marissa Pereida

AMFT

✦ Supervised by

Shazia Bashiruddin

I am from Northern California and I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families of various backgrounds who have faced life challenges that include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, life stressors, trauma, substance use disorders, grief and loss, and more. I am empathetic, honest, and compassionate and value the relationship of those I work with. My favorite approaches include trauma-informed, person-centered, strength-based with the use of CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and systems approach.
