Sometimes all we need is a safe place to unpack what is on our heart and mind without judgment. I believe that life throws us loops and when we reach out for help, that shows how strong we truly are.

Hi! I'm Marissa Kent, licensed professional counselor (LPC). I work with clients across the state of Mississippi via telehealth. I specialize in helping young adults overcome toxic cycles and the trauma caused by them so they can build better relationships with themselves and others. Understanding your story leaves me better equipped to support you in working through life's challenges and achieving personal growth. I help individuals and couples who long to be happy again and have relationships that actually add value to their lives.

I have a passion to teach individuals how to walk in their truth! In the process, I guide and encourage that cultivation through my compassion and multifaceted skill set. I have spent many years working with individuals and their families with addressing a multitude of concerns that led to problematic behavior that created functional dysfunction. My primary goal is to assist with them having awareness, acceptance, and then taking action with making what was once uncomfortable, comfortable; which is where the truth and the living begins.

My clients come into session with a wide variety of life experiences and goals, but have one thing in common. Every single one desires a safe place to feel truly heard and understood.

Heyyy! Ready to invest in your personal growth journey? I’m here to help you uncover your true self with warmth, understanding, and a non-judgmental approach. Whether it’s boosting self-love, discovering your worth, or navigating relationships both personally or professionally, I’ve got your back.

Only one thing is certain....Change. But change is hard, no matter where it comes from. Unexpected changes like breakups, injuries, tragic news, and traumatic events can cause emotional struggles, anger and anxiety. You may feel that you don't know who to trust, where to go, or what to feel. Expected changes in life can also be difficult. Having children, dealing with death, divorce, life or aging transitions, or job changes, can also be difficult. Finally, sometimes we desire change, but don't know how to get there! When life changes happen, or need to happen, therapy can help. I would love to help you in this journey.

I work with many different types of clients, including children, families and adults. Over the past 20 years, I have treated many different diagnoses and mental health challenges. I enjoy helping people overcome the effects of depression, panic attacks, trauma, bipolar, relationship and life changes, and the effects of grief. I approach everyone as an individual and we design your goals together. My aspiration is to help you lessen your burdens by giving you insights, coping skills, and a place to feel safe and heard. While our problems can feel overwhelming, there are often solutions that we do not see. Therapy can help.

Providing a safe space to share difficult life situations is a priority. It is important to feel heard and I am open to listening as well as providing tools that may assist in the journey.

Can we just admit that sometimes life just sucks? Life is complicated because all of our circumstances are just as unique as we are. This is because we all experience different levels of trauma, depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions. When we feel hopeless and have some uncomfortable feelings that need to be processed, it is important to have someone who is non-judgmental, in your corner, rooting for you and supporting you on your journey. I would love to be that person for you so that you are not alone in the process. Recognizing that you need help is the first step to healing, and you are taking that step!

An ideal therapy client is deeply motivated to enhance their life, regardless of the obstacles they face, be it trauma, addiction, parenting, anger, or self-esteem issues. What defines them is their proactive approach towards positive change. They are eager to explore healthier coping mechanisms and navigate life's challenges with resilience. They view therapy as a courageous step towards personal growth, understanding that seeking help is a sign of strength rather than weakness. Age, race, gender, and faith hold no bearing on their journey; what matters is their readiness to embrace the process of self-discovery and transformation.

I am an In-Network provider with BlueCross BlueShield (MS and AHS), United Healthcare/Optum, and Aetna. I offer both in-office and virtual counseling services in a live video format.

I help my clients identify and resolve underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, unhealthy relationship patterns and more. Our meetings will offer you a time to be able to understand yourself & your behaviors more fully, and also be challenged to change the behaviors that are no longer serving you. Clinical psychoeducation & homework will be tailored to your specific goals. I endeavor to make my therapy room a place where you will feel seen & supported, while also being equipped with the skills and information to make the changes you desire.

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns that can sometimes lead to feelings of significant stress, uncertainty and even fear. None of us are exempt from difficult and challenging situations, although we each often experience them in unique and meaningful ways. Maybe you feel paralyzed by the anxiety exacerbated by an overwhelming job or the discontentment with a romantic relationship that has grown stagnant and void of a true emotional connection. Deep down, you know that there has to be more to your life than what you are currently experiencing, and you are ready to take that next step towards "your greater".

If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or lost, know that you are not alone. I am a licensed professional counselor here to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we can work towards understanding and addressing the challenges you are facing, and develop strategies for achieving personal growth and well-being.

Hi! I am one of the newest members of the Accepted Family Therapy team, provisionally licensed as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Mississippi. My experience has been with treating adolescents, college students, individuals, and couples with varying issues such as depression, anxiety, and family origin issues. We all have “our stuff”, but “our stuff” is a result of what goes on in our families, our jobs, and our relationships. I work with my clients to figure out how it all works together (or doesn’t) and how you, as a client, fit into that picture.

The therapeutic journey is one that requires commitment and a bond that leads to trust and understanding. My goal is to provide each individual I serve an environment that is safe and confidential to share their story and true self. I use a person-centered, strength-based approach that puts you in the driver seat of your own treatment and I am the facilitator guiding you through each step. I believe that the feelings we experience (sadness, anger, fear, frustration, etc.) can be linked back to a root cause that needs to be addressed. I help you uncover, address, and cope with those circumstances.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my fervent dedication lies in catalyzing transformative shifts in both individuals and communities. Throughout my career in social work, I've been unwaveringly committed to championing advocacy, empowerment, and compassionate care. I am driven by a profound passion for guiding others on the path towards mental wellness through therapeutic techniques. Regardless of the format, my therapeutic offerings include evidence-based interventions and personalized treatment plans designed to support clients in achieving their therapeutic goals.
