Hi, I'm Teri! I love integrating my Christian faith and biblical principles with therapeutic interventions. I know for many of us, we have experienced trauma that has left us wounded, and I believe God desires healing and restoration. I help individuals juggling family, work, and relationships while quietly struggling inside. Struggling with past experiences, and sometimes unresolved pain, that is affecting how you feel and function. I want to help you break free from the weight of past trauma so it doesn’t define your present or your future and I’m here to walk with you as you pursue that.

*Currently not accepting couples* Welcome! I provide support to individuals, couples, kink, and various polyamorous/ethically non-monogamous relational structures to guide them toward sexual wellness and health with an emphasis on communication, pleasure, and intimacy. I am also an avid advocate for combatting stigma in regard to STI/STDs, providing education on safe disclosures, and anxiety surrounding initial diagnoses. I've worked with folks with disabilities and chronic illness/pain, sex workers, survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, LGBTQIA+, reproductive and perinatal issues, and those struggling with cultural identity and religious trauma.
My modalities include a sex positive approach that is non-judgmental, compassionate, and empathetic. I use different interventions such as CBT, motivational interviewing, bereavement and grief support, mindfulness, meditation, and harm reduction strategies. I include literature, art, and somatic practices into the therapeutic space as well.
My background is in medical social work (currently have worked over 8 years in the hospital setting). I have worked at UCLA, the Los Angeles Sex Therapy Collective, and I've presented at many sexual health conferences and workshops. I have my Masters in Social Work and Public Administration from USC and my undergraduate degree in Political Science from Macalester College, MN.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience providing mental health services in behavioral health, crisis intervention, community mental health, and medical settings. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, family conflict, and other emotional challenges.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I believe healing happens when clients feel safe, understood, and empowered. I work alongside clients to build on their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.
Throughout my career, I have provided therapy and clinical support in outpatient, community-based, hospital, college mental health, and correctional settings. In my private practice, I provide bilingual psychotherapy to individuals and families experiencing trauma, stress, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and behavioral health issues. I also have extensive experience supporting foster, adoptive, and biological families caring for children impacted by trauma and attachment-related difficulties.
My professional background includes crisis stabilization, risk assessment, treatment planning, wraparound services, and multidisciplinary care coordination for youth and families with complex needs. I am also a part-time lecturer in the School of Social Work at San Diego State University, where I teach and mentor future social workers.
I am passionate about culturally responsive care, equity in mental health services, and helping clients feel empowered throughout their healing journey. I provide services in both English and Spanish and welcome clients from all backgrounds.

Maybe you’ve been feeling stuck. Maybe something in your life doesn’t feel quite right, but you’re not sure how to change it. If you’ve found yourself at this point, you may already know that you want something to feel different. You just may not know where to start.
Let me introduce myself. I’m Marisa Schimmel, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who earned my Master’s Degree from University of Southern California. Over the past decade, I have worked with individuals, children, youth, and families, helping people navigate challenges that can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves or from the people we love. I became a therapist because I genuinely value the opportunity to help people during some of the most vulnerable and meaningful
moments of their lives.

You may be the one everyone relies on, the strong one who keeps moving forward even when things feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to carry everything on your own.
I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, burnout, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who appear to have it all together on the outside but feel exhausted, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Therapy can be a place where you finally slow down, reflect, and focus on your own needs.
