Marissa Levi, MA
Doctoral Psychology Associate
I am currently a Psychology Associate at the St. Petersburg Holistic Psychology Clinic supervised by Dr. Kimberly Carnall, receiving my Doctorate Degree (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology from the Florida School of Professional Psychology at National Louis University, an APA accredited training program. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Missouri, with a minor in Human Development and Family Studies.
I am compassionate and dedicated, with a particular passion for supporting children and families through early intervention. I have a strong interest in working with individuals navigating autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and eating disorders.
I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and supportive therapeutic space where clients feel truly seen and valued. I bring warmth, creativity, and a kid-at-heart spirit into my work, especially when engaging with younger clients. Building strong therapeutic relationships is at the core of my approach, as I believe these connections are the foundation for meaningful growth and healing.
I am committed to providing culturally responsive, affirming care and value the importance of each client’s unique identity and background, including the LGBTQ+ community. Outside of therapy, I enjoy yoga, live music, and shelling at the beach. I am excited to continue growing as a clinician while providing thoughtful, individualized care to clients of all ages.
