Does this resonate?
Life has been feeling overwhelming, paralyzing, and uncertain…
Maybe you’re feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or simply worn down by the constant demands of life. Stress can build in so many ways — from work, relationships, loss, or the pressure to keep it all together — and over time, it can leave you feeling disconnected from your old self. You might not know where to begin, only that something needs to shift. Therapy at Kuhl Mental Health offers a space to slow down, sort through what’s weighing on you, and learn healthier ways to cope. Together, we can help you find calm, clarity, and a renewed sense of balance so you can start feeling like yourself again.
Let's do this!
Let's do this!
Something needs to change.
Do you find yourself questioning your self-worth or wondering who you are anymore?
Maybe you’ve been defined by a role, relationship, or title for so long that without it, you’re unsure where you stand. Or perhaps the constant stress of trying to keep up — at work, at home, or within yourself — has left you feeling drained and uncertain. It’s completely normal to feel lost, anxious about the future, or stuck in cycles of self-doubt.
Therapy can help you slow down, quiet the noise, and begin to understand what’s really driving your stress. Together, we’ll work on rebuilding your sense of self, learning healthy ways to manage pressure, and finding calm amid the chaos. Your worth isn’t measured by what you do — it’s reflected in your values, your resilience, and your willingness to keep growing. With support, uncertainty can start to feel less like a threat and more like an opportunity to rediscover who you are and what truly matters.
Hey, I’m Marissa! I got you!
I’m a stress management therapist in Scottsdale, AZ
Offering In-Person and Online Virtual Therapy Appointments throughout Arizona
Life is full of transitions—some exciting, some exhausting, and some that just leave you wondering, “Wait… how did I get here?” As a therapist, I’m here to help you navigate those shifts with compassion, clarity, and a little bit of humor when life gets messy.
My role at Kuhl Mental Health is to create a safe, grounded space where you can pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Whether you’re stepping into adulthood, facing career changes, juggling family pressures, healing from a breakup or divorce, or just feeling weighed down by the everyday chaos, I’m here to walk alongside you without judgment and with practical support.
Together, we’ll honor what’s ending (and celebrate what’s beginning), get clear on what really matters to you, and build tools to manage stress, uncertainty, and all those curveballs life throws your way. My goal is to help you move forward with confidence, purpose, and emotional balance so that change doesn’t just feel manageable, it can also help you feel more like you again.
Stress Management Therapy Services
Therapy for Starting Over
Are you going through a big change like graduating, becoming a parent, ending a relationship, or redefining your identity-and feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about what's next? Therapy can help you make sense of this transition, reconnect with your authentic self, and move forward with greater awareness and resilience.
Therapy for Anxiety & Shame
Are you on edge, overthinking, or feeling like you’re never doing enough? Does the voice in your head say you’re the problem — that you should be better, calmer, more in control? Anxiety and shame often intertwine, creating a cycle that’s exhausting and hard to break. Therapy helps ease self-judgment and build greater self-trust and emotional clarity.
Therapy for the Caregiver
Are you feeling exhausted or emotionally drained from caring for a loved one? Does guilt or frustration make it hard to prioritize your own needs? Caregiving can deeply impact your well-being. Therapy offers a safe space to process stress, set boundaries, and find balance-you don't have to do it alone.
Therapy For Grief & Loss
Are you feeling numb, stuck, or weighed down after a loss? Maybe you wonder if your feelings are “normal” or why the pain hasn’t eased with time. Grief unfolds in its own way and healing has no set timeline. Grief therapy offers a compassionate space to explore your emotions and find meaning and healing at your own pace.

“What sets Marissa apart is her ability to really connect with individuals who are going through identity shifts, major transitions, or who feel uncertain about their direction in life. She brings a thoughtful, grounded approach to her work that helps people feel understood—not pathologized. I’ve seen patients come back with a clearer sense of who they are, more self-compassion, and the tools to manage anxiety and mood symptoms in a sustainable way.”

The Process at Kuhl Mental Health
Reach out
Feel free to contact me directly by phone at (480) 535-7722 or by email at marissa@kuhlmentalhealth.com to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is essential to effective therapy, so this initial conversation is a chance for us to see if we’re a good fit.
During the consultation, I’ll learn more about what’s bringing you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I’ll also share my approach and how I typically work with clients. If it feels like a good match, we can schedule your first full session.
Experience change
In our work together, you’ll learn how to:
1.Understand your emotions instead of judging them
2.Tolerate discomfort and use it as a compass
3.Break patterns that no longer serve you
4.Take meaningful steps forward—imperfectly but intentionally
