About Me
Marisa K. Mickel, Psychotherapist and Meditation Consultant
Marisa K. Mickel, LCSW
|
My interest in psychotherapy arose from my professional background in the creative arts, as well as my decades-long exploration of meditation practices. I am Jungian-influenced and eclectically trained, which means I am experienced in a wide range of perspectives and techniques, including relational therapy, object relations, CBT, Vedic psychology, and Jungian awareness. As a therapist, I draw from the perspectives and techniques that are best suited to you and your needs in the moment.

Meditation Offerings
I also provide meditation guidance to established meditators experiencing friction in their practice or seeking to expand their meditation experience. This work is distinct from my psychotherapy sessions, and usually ranges from one to four one-hour sessions, during which we explore your current practice and make adjustments to improve and expand your individual experience. A meditation is included in each session.
My own meditation practice began in childhood, initially focusing on present-moment and loving-kindness practices. For the last twelve years, I've consistently practiced a twice daily Vedic meditation. Although my personal preference is for transcendent approaches, I actively study and train in different meditation disciplines in order to best meet your specific preferences and needs. My supplemental training includes deep exploration of the Vedas, including Ayurveda, the Yoga Sutras, Upanishads, and use of Mudras, Asana, and Pranayama, as well as continuing education in Mindfulness from both psychological and meditation-based perspectives.
