Take Control with Confidence and Security

Marissa Penn, LMSW

Marissa (she/her) is a seasoned psychotherapist, educated at NYU’s Silver School of Social Work, with almost 10 years of experience in various mental health treatment settings. Before this, she obtained her J.D. in law where she focused on advocating for underserved communities. She was drawn to the human connection that she could have with her patients now that she felt had been missing in her legal career.

Marissa is empathic, warm, open-minded, and relational in her therapeutic approach. She specializes in treating adults with co-occurring disorders, including substance use disorders, PTSD, mood disorders, personality disorders, and more. Currently, she is seeking out additional training in EMDR and is interested in how she may be able to employ this therapeutic technique to help those affected by trauma. In her time outside of work, Marissa enjoys being in nature with her dog, cooking, baking, the arts, spending time with her family, and traveling abroad. She plans to pursue a PhD and hopes to teach in the future.
