Ready to experience a not-so-nervous system that serves as your internal compass for joy, abundance, & flow?

I'm Marisa Mundell, owner & founder of Creative Process Counseling. I grew up in a big Italian family, so naturally, I talk with my hands and my love language is food. True to my Scorpio nature, my purpose is to help people transform. I love working with silly stoics who are tired of sitting on the sidelines. 

Thanks to nearly 15 years of meditation, yoga, spiritual practices, and most recently Network Spinal, I am attuned to what is well in others and can help draw that out. People who know me well, and even those who don't, describe me as down to earth, intuitive, and genuine.

Over the last 10 years of my career, expressive arts has had a profound impact on progress with clients. My favorite part of this work is witnessing clients use their personal creative processes to build confidence, social skills, self-esteem, and most importantly trusting relationships.

My philosophy is to build life around the things that we enjoy (not leave them as an afterthought) because engaging in these activities helps us regulate our nervous systems, think more clearly, and act more intentionally. So, if you have a burning passion, quirky hobby, cherished collection, or beloved pet--I want to learn all about it!

My work is influenced by mythologist Joseph Campbell's The Hero's Journey.
One of my favorite Campbell quotes is:

We must be willing to let go of the life we've planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
