Sarissa Black

About Sarissa

Sarissa has been practicing Social Work across the Niagara Region for over 10 years. Many years of working in substance use and mental health crisis response and treatment have grown Sarissa’s love for human connection and ensuring that everyone knows they deserve to be heard and supported. Through a humanistic approach, Sarissa focuses on connection with her clients: always ensuring that they feel seen and heard. Sarissa works alongside clients to find comfort in the therapy relationship, identify how the body, brain and emotional health are coping and connecting with the environment, and make a plan for change. Sarissa utilizes an eclectic approach with extensive training in multiple modalities in order to best fit a client’s goals, lifestyle, and readiness for change. For some, this means a few short sessions to organize your thoughts. For others, this means months of re-processing memories and learning to think differently about yourself. Sarissa specializes in single session therapy - if you are unsure about therapy or have limited time or resources, reach out to try a one-time session! Sarissa and family live locally and enjoy spending time in nature, dancing, singing, lifting heavy weights, baking and playing competitive volleyball.
