Marirose Occhiogrosso, LMFT she/her/hers
Specialization: Licensed Psychotherapist (TAG)
Practice Description: Specializing in helping people develop sustainable coping, emotional resiliency, self-compassion and joyfulness about themselves and life.
Almost 14 years of experience providing therapy for diverse populations with eating disorders in a large healthcare system in Southern California. I have helped people recover from eating disorders, compulsive exercising, and chronic disrupted relationships with their body and food.
Eating disorders rarely develop in isolation. For this reason, I have also trained extensively to enable people to find relief and recovery from depression, anxiety, trauma, and work/relational stressors. Those with gender dysphoria and people identifying as LGBTQIA+ may have higher incidences of eating disorder symptoms. I have sensitively explored these intersections with many people.
Special interest in working with therapists seeking their own therapy.

Specialization: Coaching (Mindfulness and Compassion practices, Gestalt Therapy, Body Positive and Positive Embodiment), Voice Therapy (with specialization in singing voice, and emotional/psychological aspects of the voice).
Practice Description: I offer individual and group sessions to work on body acceptance, positive embodiment, Self-Compassion and Mindfulness practices. With a focus on the social aspects of health (I love exploring privilege, oppression, talk about bias and microaggressions, my workshops and sessions include psychoeducation to enhance liberation), gender (feminism, gender identity and sexual orientation), migration (as I have migrated and understand the difficulties of displacement), and the unique intersectionality of each human being. Our sessions will be explorations in which you are the leader and the owner of your truth, and I gently intend to create a space where you can be who you are and feel safe. I additionally offer voice therapy and training, focused on the emotional and identitary aspects of your voice and using the voice to soothe and heal, applying Gestalt techniques. I offer Gestalt therapy as well (working on polarities, integrating the personality, returning to a more spontaneous way of living life, and processing illnesses by engaging in a dialogue with sick organs, technique created by the Chilean psychiatrist Adriana Schnake).
