​​About Me

Marisa K. Mickel, ​Psychotherapist

Marisa K. Mickel, LCSW
My interest and training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy arose from my professional background in the creative arts, as well as my decades-long exploration of meditation practices. I am interested in the role of "story" and "archetype" in our individual (and collective) psyche, and how these elements can best serve and free you going forward. 

My practice style is "eclectic," which means that I have thorough training and experience in a wide range of schools and techniques, including relational therapy, object relations, CBT, Vedic psychology, and Jungian analysis.  I draw from the perspectives and techniques that are best suited to you and your needs in the moment.

EDUCATION:
  • Yale University, B.A.
  • NYU Silver School of Social Work, M.S.W.
  • Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center:  eclectic, post-graduate, analytic training (ongoing)
LICENSES: L.C.S.W., L.M.S.W.
