Marissa Sylver, MSW, RSW

Hi! I’m Marissa.

I enjoy pilates,walking my dog, baking and hiking.

It’s never overreacting to ask for what you want and need.

— Amy Poehler

I believe one of the most important predictors of successful therapy is the quality of the client-therapist relationship. Finding the right therapist to talk to and collaborate with is key to establishing a fresh new perspective and to create a plan for success. Trust, compassion, and respect are necessary in forming a positive therapeutic relationship.

My style is warm, interactive open-minded and collaborative. I bring 20 years of experience, focused on individual therapy with a variety of clients, including teenagers, adults, and parents. I use an integrative approach emphasizing self-awareness and insight, mindfulness, coping strategies, goal setting and skill building.

I provide therapy for a variety of clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life balance, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, and ADHD.

To create meaningful change for clients, I use a variety of evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy along with other proven methods for success.

I am a Registered Social Worker and completed my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Toronto.

I look forward to discussing your needs and how I can best support you through an initial phone consultation.
