The Mindful Messenger Mindful, compassionate, strengths-based counseling for those who wish to find hope through healing. All socials -

My name is Marissa Nickel, and I own a private therapy practice. I have 15 years of clinical experience. As a licensed clinical social worker, my philosophy is simple - I support those willing to self-improve in becoming who they most desire through the use of empathy, validation, compassion, and psycho-education. I rely on a strengths-based, mindful approach to client care and believe that progress made in therapy will be based largely on my ability to make a connection with and establish genuine rapport with my clientele. All judgments aside and with an open-mind, my goal in practice is to reflect back to clients their true beauty and innate goodness so as to empower them to live fully, be present, and achieve their highest potential.

✨a beautiful song by an amazing human to highlight an honorable profession i have been privileged to practice for over two decades now. social workers ARE professionals, we are essential, we are needed, and we are in each sector of life. it’s a path i’d choose in every lifetime because love and kindness and compassion are what i am made of. maybe a little water, too.

we have to keep taking care of each other. together, united, is the best way to fight injustice and oppression and create a more peaceful, more equitable, more equal, more prosperous, and a safer world for us all. nobody is free until we are all free.

let love trump hate, and humanity will win out. keep up the good fight. be kind, always.✨

✨all relationships are a privilege. you have to be a loving, nurturing, compassionate, and safe space yourself to receive that in return. but here’s talking specifically to those who believe they’ve done no wrong, feel victimized by the results of their own action (or inaction), and thereby blame the person choosing peace for doing just that - choosing themselves. relationships require effort in all areas and every form. accountability is necessary for forward progress.✨

✨some people are lifers and some are lessons. all are essential.

the woman from the bathroom floor, who thought she could never possibly get back up, she wouldn’t even recognize me today. but i also wouldn’t be here without her courage which led to me returning upright and again on my feet. it wasn’t without immense pain and struggle, but i did it. and so can you. the wounds are deep, but eventually they become scars that hurt less.

someone not loving you is not a reflection of your worth or your ability to be loved. it may feel like rejection, but it can also be a redirection.

you are worthy; remember that.✨

✨time is a social construct, but it’s a thief, too. and it goes quickly.

be in your moments. use all of your senses to be fully present, and lock in. because yes, you may return to a place, but we can only ever visit a moment again in our minds, as a memory.✨

✨leave every person, every place, every moment, better than you found it. a trail of heart prints is a beautiful impact and a glorious legacy. be kind.✨

✨some of us really said it ends with me. it’s by far the most challenge i have ever balanced, parenting my own child while healing my inner one, but the payoff is worth every bit of it. my son feels safe, seen, considered, respected, loved, supported, valued, wanted, and unconditionally so, because he is. cheers to my fellow cycle breakers who are also in the trenches. we’ve got this.

raise kind humans because you too are also one.✨

✨and yet, you made it. but i hope you find people who, in the future (if needed), would jump in that water immediately to rescue you and help you save yourself. you deserve that kind of love.✨

08/13/2026

✨i have been away for a bit, but i am slowly coming back.

send this to someone you love, tag a person who needs to hear it, play it for you, and remember that i am not gone from my platforms; i am here, and i love you all. be kind.✨

✨and this is just cool stuff my kid works extremely hard at. a fun little peek into our world.

love your children. love them unconditionally. nurture their creativity, and feed their sweet souls. raise kind humans.✨
