All are welcome

Marisa La Piana LCSW Psychotherapy

I welcome people of all sexual and relationship orientations, genders, races, cultures, faiths, abilities, sizes and lifestyles.

Meet Marisa

I am a compassionate, open-minded femme healer dedicated to supporting you on your journey with deep listening, attunement and an open heart.

My practice was created with the needs of queer, polyamorous, kinky, transgender, disabled and neurodivergent folks at the center. It is deeply influenced and inspired by the inherent strengths, resilience and wisdom of these communities.

Open Minded, Affirming Therapy

I believe that therapy is political. It is important to me to create space for all of our intersectional human identities and the ways in which both our privileged and marginalized identities impact our lives and shape our relationships and interactions, including in the therapeutic space.

I also take into account systemic, historical and intergenerational traumas that often create challenges for those holding these identities. Many queer, trans and disabled clients come to therapy with body-related trauma and or feeling disconnected from or overwhelmed by their bodies as a survival response to anti-queer and anti-trans violence and ableism.

Resources

I’ve compiled a list of support resources for LGBTQ , non-monogamous, neurodivergent, disabled people and people working towards anti-racism, healing trauma and connecting more deeply to themselves and their bodies.
