Marissa Gray, LCSW(She/Her/Hers)

Marissa Gray, LCSW and PMH-C, works with women and moms across Illinois who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not like themselves. She supports clients navigating motherhood, perinatal mental health, identity shifts, relationship stress, and life transitions, helping them feel seen, heard, and supported in their daily lives.

At Gray Therapy Group, which was founded by Marissa Gray, Marissa offers a compassionate, strengths-based approach that prioritizes the client’s emotions, needs, and experiences. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy to provide a space that is validating, supportive, and challenging when needed. Her trauma-informed approach helps clients regain balance, build boundaries, and reconnect with themselves.

Marissa brings over 15 years of experience as a school social worker, social justice advocate, preschool director, clinical director, and clinical supervisor. This diverse background informs her understanding of the pressures women face and enhances her ability to create therapy that feels practical, empowering, and deeply attuned to each client’s unique experience.

All sessions with Marissa are conducted via Telehealth, making therapy accessible for women across Illinois. While many clients live in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, she is licensed to work with clients statewide. As founder of Gray Therapy Group, Marissa ensures that every session reflects the mission and values of the practice, offering individualized support that fits clients’ lives.
