I have lived all over - Guam, NE, CO, IL - and bring my love for learning and connecting with people to each aspect of my life.

Marisa Giuliano

Marisa Giuliano

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Let’s get UNSTUCK. Therapy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, and healing and growth don’t have to come through more pain.

You may understand exactly what's causing a certain feeling or response and yet it still happens. You know you're safe but your mind/body responds as though you are not. You know you are capable but something keeps getting in the way.

I work with adults, teens, and children navigating trauma, anxiety, fears and phobias, guilt, shame, fear of judgement, grief, life transitions, perinatal experiences, and performance-related stressors. I also work with people who recognize something is getting in the way of how they'd like to be and are interested in accessing and perhaps expanding their potential.

Many of the people I work with have already put a lot of thought and effort into feeling better and gaining insight. You don’t have to have it figured out before you get here. My clients tend to be curious, motivated, and open to coloring a little outside of the lines. They often appreciate an active therapeutic process focused on creating clarity and change.

Sometimes the goal is deep relief from something painful. Sometimes it’s greater confidence, freedom, or the ability to show up more fully as yourself.

I’m a Rapid Resolution Therapy Certified Specialist and a National Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, with additional training in Brainspotting and other experiential and strength-based approaches.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Memphis

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Memphis starts with identifying someone who offers identity-affirming care and has experience with your specific needs. You may be looking for support with identity, family or relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or work with LGBTQIA+ communities. These details can help you find a therapist whose training, specialties, and approach align with the care you want.

In a mid-size city like Memphis, affirming therapists may vary by neighborhood, office location, and availability. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond the closest office while still giving you access to licensed therapists in Tennessee. As you narrow your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles can also help you understand how a therapist describes their communication style, what populations they work with, and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Memphis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists, enter your insurance details, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists by specialty, availability, appointment format, and insurance fit, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, may be a fit for your insurance, and is ready to take new patients.
