More about Mirissa
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW-C
My approach centers on liberation, cultural awareness, and respect for every client’s lived experience. I create a space where Black women, queer and trans clients, immigrants, and anyone carrying the weight of oppression can feel grounded and heard. Using an anti-racist, anti-oppressive lens, I honor identity, challenge harmful narratives, and support emotional clarity. My style is warm and direct, moving at a pace that fosters comfort while helping clients strengthen self-worth, heal, and grow with intention.
