Introduction

Welcome! I'm Dr. Charissa Pizarro, a licensed clinical psychologist and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor specializing in trauma-informed and culturally responsive care. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families to help them heal from trauma, navigate life's challenges, and reconnect with their strengths. I believe that every person's story deserves to be heard with compassion, respect, and without judgment. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to your unique needs, drawing from interventions that foster healing, resilience, and lasting change. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, or simply feeling overwhelmed, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel empowered to grow, heal, and thrive.
