Marissa Katz Bellani

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a licensed mental health counselor and I have 6 years of work and intern experience. I graduated from Lesley University with a focus in Music Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapies. My treatment approach is warm and interactive. We can explore your inner creative self through Music Therapy or more traditional counseling techniques such as person-centered therapy. I’ll meet you where you are at in your journey to wellness and mental health. Together we can work towards a calmer and more balanced, self-actualized place in your inner world.
Dealing with mental health issues and difficult life experiences is not easy. The world can seem like an overwhelming place sometimes. I believe you are the expert of yourself and I can serve as a nonjudgmental, unconditionally loving and supportive counselor so that healthy change is possible. *Currently offering only online therapy to Hawaii clients

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One key advantage is flexibility – individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that feels most comfortable, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety of options often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

Therapy delivered online is provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they need a different fit. For many people, the combination of proven effectiveness and flexible access makes online therapy a practical choice for addressing everyday mental health needs.
