Marisa Reynoso is the Co-Founder of Mosaic Center for Mental Health, where she brings together her passion for relationship-centered care, operational excellence, and equitable mental health access. Originally from San Diego, California, Marisa is a two-time alumna of San Diego State University, earning her B.A. in Communication and M.A. in Education with an emphasis in Multicultural Counseling.

Marisa is certified in Trauma-Informed Care and is deeply committed to supporting mental health professionals through a holistic, inclusive, and systems-aware lens. She has a particular strength in partnering with mental health private practices and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) trainers—helping them build sustainable, values-aligned organizations that allow clinicians and trainers to focus on what matters most: meaningful, effective client care and transformative learning experiences.

With extensive experience in operations management, team development, and organizational leadership, Marisa has played a key role in building results-oriented, collaborative cultures across professional settings. She is known for translating vision into structure—assessing organizational needs, implementing continuous improvements, and creating standardized processes that increase efficiency while honoring the relational heart of mental health work.

At Mosaic Center for Mental Health, Marisa’s work reflects her belief that strong systems, when built with care and intention, can support healing, connection, and long-term impact—for providers, trainers, and the communities they serve.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT)

My work as a therapist is deeply rooted in what I’ve learned about attachment—both through my professional training and through my own life.

I’ve experienced the pain that can come from insecure relationships, as well as the safety, connection, and growth that can come from secure ones. Nothing has been more meaningful to me than not only studying attachment for over a decade, but also experiencing the transformation toward greater earned security.

That lived and learned experience shapes how I approach my work with clients through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Building a strong, safe, and collaborative therapeutic relationship is at the core of my work with both clients and supervisees.

I believe you deserve a space where you can feel accepted as you are while also being supported to grow—a space where you can better understand how you show up in relationships and gently challenge yourself toward greater clarity, confidence, and security.

Together, we can create a consistent and grounded space to make sense of your experiences, understand the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, and find a path toward meaningful, lasting change.

Being human is messy. You don’t have to organize it alone. I’m here to help you hold it, make sense of it, and move through it with you.

I offer in-person and telehealth therapy for adult individuals, couples, and families.
