My Approach to Therapy
I consider myself to be a pretty casual, warm, low key therapist. I seek to create an environment where clients feel safe and supported. In our sessions together I work to affirm and empower my clients to be open and honest about their thoughts and feelings without any judgment.

Hi I am Carissa Toviessi, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe in a collaborative and authentic client-centered approach. I think it is important to instill change through exploration, problem-solving, identifying achievable goals to process and heal from symptoms of emotional distress.
