About
Marissa Wolicki
She herself lived through childhood anxiety and understands the thoughts and emotions associated with feeling different from other children. These experiences helped navigate her path by identifying and relating to the children and youth that she works with. She found immense support when she was young and was able to overcome her fears through many of the same strategies she offers her clients. Marissa Wolicki wanted to offer the same for others and ensure that every child felt that similar encouragement and feeling of hope during difficult and confusing times.

And so her journey began...
