About

Hi! I'm Marisa Sommerhalder, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Walnut Creek and virtually throughout California. Maybe you’re a high school or college student feeling overwhelmed by stress, pressure, or uncertainty about the future. Has anxiety, self-doubt, or social challenges make it hard to feel confident or motivated? You want to better understand your emotions, improve relationships, and find a sense of balance and direction. You’re looking for a supportive space to build coping tools, strengthen self-awareness, and feel more grounded as you navigate school, friendships, and life transitions. I help teens and college students navigate anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, and transitions. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the stress and build skills to handle emotions, improve communication, and feel more grounded. My approach is warm, supportive, and focused on helping you feel empowered and capable.
