Marissa Pena, LCSW

About Me

I am an LCSW with over 20 years of experience in the field, to include the last 14 years of my career working with active duty service members. I attended the EMDR basic course in 2022, and have been working with an EMDR consultant over the last 2 years. I hope to become certified in the next 1-2 years.

Education & Experience

Masters Degree in Social Work in 2005, and Bachelor degree in Social Work in 2000. I began working with the military in 2011, and this population continues to be who I work with. I'm hoping to retire as an active duty social worker in the next 10 years.
