Maryssa Dishing, LMSW
Hello! If you have found yourself here it’s likely you’ve set an intention of wanting to gain a deeper understanding of yourself or difficult experiences you may be having. I am so glad you’re here. It takes courage to come to the realization that help is warranted then seek out that help. While it is impossible to list all the potential concerns bringing clients to therapy, some of the general areas I treat are: relationship concerns—including intimate partner violence, triggers for feelings and behaviors, chronic pain or illness, trauma, depression, self-esteem, confidence, anxiety, life transition issues, mood issues, grief, difficulties at work or school, and, feeling disconnected from others. I strongly align with trauma-informed care and how this can be used to understand our experiences, as well as ways in which we can grow despite the challenges we face. The connections we have with others have the power to shape many aspects of our lives. I use a holistic, client-centered approach, meaning I draw on lots of different therapeutic techniques to support your journey of well-being. Some of the modalities I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with a strong foundation in developmental and attachment theory. I received my graduate degree at the University of Tennessee. I have over ten years as a licensed social worker. I have spent the majority of my career working with individuals who struggle with serious and persistent mental illnesses as well as co-occurring disorders. In addition to my time as a clinician, I am a working mom to two busy kids. I have a partner, and we are a blended family. In my free time I enjoy gardening, cooking, trying to get back into running, and enjoying my family as much as possible. — Maryssa
