About Marissa Savala

My name is Marissa, and I am a licensed therapist in Oklahoma with 9 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & coping with addiction and recovery. I prefer to use a solution-focused approach, identifying the strengths you already have and empowering you to work towards your unique goals. I pull from research and evidence-based treatments to provide the most effective treatment experience. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process! I have limited availability, currently only scheduling sessions on Saturdays and Sundays unless otherwise scheduled on a case-by-case basis. Please take this into consideration when determining if I am able to meet your therapy needs.

“Masrissa is very kind and her listening skils are unrivaled.”

“Marissa is an amazing therapist, extremely helpful as someone who wants real solutions and coping skills rather than just a listening ear, although she's great at just listening as well. She's also been extremely accommodating with my busy schedule, I couldn't ask for a better therapist!”

“The best therapist I’ve ever had! She truly understands and empathizes in a way that works well for me. Highly recommend!”

“Marissa is the best therapist I’ve ever had! She always makes me feel heard & validated. I, myself, am a therapist & I feel I have a lot to learn from Marissa. She’s great at what she does & genuinely seems to care!”

“My therapist validated me and checks in on le often!”

“Marissa is truly so kind, asks the right questions, checks in frequently, and has just been all around wonderful during such a trying time in my life.”

“I’ve only had a few sessions. But, she has been so great at fully hearing me and offering several ways to help me through my struggles. She responds to messages in a timely manner and she encourages me to reach out at any time.”

“She’s amazing”

“Marissa is great. At first, we were hesitant to go with someone who is 20 years or so younger than we are, and we worried needlessly. Her insight is extremely spot-on and helpful, and she is forthright without being judgmental. Super therapist. Strongly recommend.”

“Your doing a great job thank you”

“Marissa has been great! She connected on me and my past and my marriage better than I imagined! And she connected with me spiritually which was awesome!”

“We only recently connected, but I am very encouraged and hopeful!”

“One of the more thoughtful and insightful therapists I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Marissa helps offer perspective and new approaches to help me better understand myself. I’m very thankful I was matched with her.”
