Marisa Ridley, LCSW

Hello all, Nimah (animal-assisted counseling dog partner) and I are looking for a place to provide counseling from January through May 2021. Nimah and I have just completed and are certified as a team through the Texas State University program.

I work at a local Children’s hospital during traditional business hours Monday-Friday. So I am looking for something evening and some weekends if needed. Looking for roughly 8-10 hours a week of work toward our supervision hours for the finalization of our program.

I am an LCSW that created and ran a counseling program in my local community for two years for free, so I have experience but would love to continue to grow with Nimah by my side.

I am open to sliding scale or low-cost counseling, group work, or anything outside of the box, and possibly our work be performed for free depending on the responsibilities and workload.

I have a passion for working with LGBTQ+, Veterans, Teenagers, and adults. Though every new population I have worked with over the years has been extremely rewarding and I’ve grown from it.
If anyone knows of any leads, suggestions, counseling space I could rent for a low cost please feel free to comment in this thread or PM me.

I am looking in the HEB or Colleyville area, as I would need to leave work drive to Colleyville to pick Nimah up then drive around 5pm to the job site.

I am so happy to be apart of such an amazing community!

I would not be where I am today and to have the impact I have on those around me, without the support & love of women around me.

Setting goals to share more resources in my community, post Clinical Social Work questions, and general social work education.

Feel free to share.

I have created this space to connect with other mental health providers, community members, and local businesses. Feel free to share with friends and family, to assist me in making impactful connections with those in the Crowley community and surrounding areas.
