Who is
Marissa K Stubbs?

I am a licensed psychologist with a passion for supporting individuals on their path to mental wellness. Born in The Bahamas to a Bahamian father and Jamaican mother, I carry a unique perspective nurtured by a rich Afro-Caribbean heritage. I am deeply committed to breaking down the stigma around mental health in the Caribbean and increasing accessibility to much-needed psychological support.

My journey in the field of psychology began with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of the Bahamas, followed by a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from the University of the West Indies (Mona). Supplementing these degrees, I have undergone specific training in trauma-informed therapies such as DBT, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems, enriching my repertoire of techniques to better serve my clients.

With over seven years of experience, I've had the privilege of assisting clients from various parts of the Caribbean who are struggling with trauma, depression, and anxiety. I recognize that there's a pervasive culture of "suffering in silence," and my mission is to cultivate a safe, nurturing environment that fosters open dialogue, mutual trust, and healing.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic, rooted in continual learning and adaptation. I regularly participate in continuing education courses and training, always seeking ways to infuse culturally appropriate practices into my work. My primary goal is not to offer a one-size-fits-all solution, but to tailor the treatment process to the unique needs of each client.
