Marissa Isenor | Ontario Counselling and Psychotherapy

“Healing is the most courageous act a human being can do” -Dr. Nicole LePera

I believe each person has their own unique story, filled with beautiful moments and challenging obstacles. Whether you’re going through a particularly difficult season of life or looking to work on a specific challenge you’ve been facing, therapy can offer a space for reflection, healing, and growth.
My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, where we work together to explore your experiences, gain new insights, and move toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Child Studies with a minor in Psychology from Carleton University and a master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I take an integrative approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT), and others. This allows me to tailor sessions to your unique needs, values, and personal story. My work is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for your lived experience.
As a wife and mother, I understand firsthand the complexities, joys, and challenges that can come with partnerships and parenting. These lived experiences inform my work with couples and families, and help me bring both professional insight and personal understanding into the therapy room.

I know that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re unsure of what to expect. That uncertainty is completely normal. I’m here to walk alongside you, with compassion and care, every step of the way.

If you have any questions or if you are interested in booking a session, please reach out to me using the contact form on this page or by sending me an email at marissa.m.ocp@gmail.com. Please note that I work part-time and I am currently offering sessions on Saturdays (in-person and virtual).

I look forward to speaking with you!
