About
Hello! I am Marissa Garfunkel, and I am an LCSW in CT. I have been practicing in the field for about 15 years and am presently working toward my Doctorate of Social Work to further my abilities to aid my clients on their journeys. I place strong value on the relationship that I have with individuals, feeling that the therapeutic alliance creates space for transformation to occur. My goal is to meet my clients where they are at, utilizing a client's natural and organic strengths as a starting point for treatment. My practice tends to gear toward addressing women's issues, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss, relational issues (on an individual level, not couples therapy), and trauma. I currently do not work with clients with eating disorders or those with primary substance use issues, as this is outside my scope of practice.
