Professional statement
Dr. Marissa Tunis is a CA and NY licensed clinical psychologist who provides both online and in-person individual, couples, and family therapy. Dr. Tunis frequently helps her clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and panic; uniquely, she specializes in helping clients navigate these and other difficulties within the context of their relationships and family dynamics. Her approach is exploratory and directive, meaning she is available to help you solve your problems and provide instruction when needed.
Dr. Tunis believes in unconditional positive regard of her clients, and she connects with warmth and authenticity. She is dedicated to helping clients realize that they are capable of healing and able to enjoy their lives and relationships again.
A particular interest is working with clients who have worked with other therapists prior but have not yet reached symptom resolution. With a multi-modal and integrative approach, she draws on many treatment modalities to help her clients find true relief and bring joy back to their lives.
With an office located in Westwood, Los Angeles, she is available for sessions on weekdays and evenings – both in office and online. She uses tele-health to work with NY clients. She accepts credit and debit cards and provides Superbills for clients to submit to their insurance for reimbursement.
It is hard finding a therapist who is the right fit – someone who you can trust to have the skills to meet your needs. She encourages you to reach out in order to learn more, and looks forward to hearing from you.
