Marrit is a highly skilled psychotherapist and exemplifies a variety of key traits. She’s therapeutically realistic, insightful and patient.
I have watched Marrit approach some of the most challenging circumstances with confidence. She has a knack for finding common ground with others, even those who are very different from her.

She’s adept at building rapport and trust with her clients. Marrit easily displays empathy, listens to her clients’ side of the story and is nonjudgmental.
Her clients feel comfortable with her and speak highly of her. They are regularly happy with the services she provides. If you have the privilege of doing therapy with Marrit, she’s the kind of person you’ll want to keep meeting with.
