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 progre

ss 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.

✨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.✨

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.✨

✨relationships are a privilege, not a right. you do not get the luxury and the intrinsic benefits that come with healthy connections if you are not willing to also be a safe, accountable, contributing, loving, encouraging support to others. people are not things, and care is not transactional. everyone wants a village until it comes time to be a villager. put in the work. be kind.✨

✨exciting news…for once. also, happy may.

in honor of my beautiful grandma, who died a little over a year ago, i am overjoyed to announce that i am opening a nonprofit organization with my son, founded on love, compassion, unity, and community - geraniums for gigi. her favorite flower, and the premise being that we perpetuate and expand the “be kind” movement that she helped me create, by way of flowers, but also anonymous random acts of kindness throughout the year, across the country.

she and my grandpa introduced me to social work nearly 30 years ago, and it was the two of them who funded and ensured my way through graduate school and beyond. i tried to repay them with money so many times, and they never accepted it. so now i can use that to propel this. it’s absolutely everything she would have wanted, and i am so honored to keep her legacy alive in this manner.

geraniums for gigi - stay tuned. and remember, be kind.✨
