I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I believe that true growth begins when we feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and practical — I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, build insight, and move toward greater balance and fulfillment.
My clinical style integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Approaches, and Trauma-Informed Care. I also draw from strengths-based and person-centered frameworks to help clients reconnect with their resilience and inner resources. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or past trauma, we’ll work together to develop strategies that feel authentic and sustainable for you.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University San Marcos and have worked in diverse settings, including community mental health, healthcare, and private practice. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients from a wide range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, and I’m deeply committed to fostering inclusivity, respect, and cultural humility in my work.
Clients often describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and attentive. My goal is to help you feel empowered, supported, and capable of meaningful growth — not only in therapy, but in all areas of your life.

Hi, I'm Carla — a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (TX) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (CA) who genuinely loves helping people find their footing when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. Whether you're going through a major life transition, feeling stuck in old patterns, or simply carrying more than you can hold right now, you don't have to figure it out alone. I create a space that's warm, judgment-free, and entirely yours — where you can slow down, be honest, and start moving forward in a way that actually feels like you.
If you're ready to take that first step, I'd love to connect.

I've been in therapy myself and have both healed and grown tremendously having worked with
therapists. Through my work with skilled therapists, I have become a more present, alive, whole-
bodied person that has learned to love myself--to be kinder to myself, less self-critical, happier,
and enjoy expressing my various forms of creativity. I'm not perfect but I continue to make shifts
when I drift into old patterns. As a result of these experiences and recommitting to shifting into
presence, self-acceptance, and whole-body awareness I feel more connected, alive and at peace. I
enjoy loving relationships with the people closest to me including my wife and children. When
not working with people, I enjoy reading biographies and adventure novels, playing board and
card games, watching live baseball games, and enjoying a variety of outdoor activities and
pursuits.

Maybe you’ve been feeling stuck. Maybe something in your life doesn’t feel quite right, but you’re not sure how to change it. If you’ve found yourself at this point, you may already know that you want something to feel different. You just may not know where to start.
Let me introduce myself. I’m Marisa Schimmel, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who earned my Master’s Degree from University of Southern California. Over the past decade, I have worked with individuals, children, youth, and families, helping people navigate challenges that can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves or from the people we love. I became a therapist because I genuinely value the opportunity to help people during some of the most vulnerable and meaningful
moments of their lives.
