Marissa Erickson, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor
(469) 333-6163 connect@texaschristiancounseling.com

Throughout our lives, challenges arise that may be beyond our ability to overcome. Everyone needs a safe space, support, and, at times, guidance to work through those challenges. My goal and purpose is to provide that space and support to help you navigate through life and find solutions that work for you. I offer effective tools to help you address anxiety, trauma, substance use, depressive disorders, and other concerns and challenges that life can throw into the mix. One day at a time, we will work through the emotional and mental battles that may be derailing you from living your best life, with God’s help.
