Marissa Raskin

Marissa Raskin, LMHC, is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She holds an undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice and Psychology from the University at Albany and a dual master degree from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Forensic Psychology and Forensic Mental Health Counseling. Her background includes work with people facing substance use, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and those who have experienced trauma or become involved with the criminal justice system.

Her practice emphasizes a warm, empathetic, supportive, and inclusive approach. Marissa integrates client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness strategies, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic perspectives. She aims to tailor dialog and treatment planning to the specific needs of each person rather than rely on one fixed model.

Marissa addresses a broad range of issues including addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and intimacy-related concerns, career and workplace challenges, and coping with life changes. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and adapts tools and pacing to the priorities a person brings to sessions. She looks forward to engaging with individuals seeking thoughtful, evidence-informed care in New York.
