Marissa Anderson-Botello

Oyema beautiful people! My name is Marissa Anderson-Botello (but you can call me Mari) and I am located on the traditional lands of Sandia & Isleta Pueblos. I am currently in a Master's Counseling program at the University of New Mexico and have more than 6 years of experience as a crisis counselor for survivors of Sexual Assault. My passion is helping cultivate spaces for people to explore their healing journey and I am excited to share what I have learned in The Grief Recovery Method. I was called to explore The Grief Recovery Method after dealing with a lot of loss in my life due to incarceration, suicide and domestic violence. While dedicating to this journey, I realized I was grieving many different complex trauma's in my life concerning my own identity, survivorship and feelings of not being protected or honored. Navigating the world as a Person of Color and feeling the weight of generational trauma is a constant grieving process. Gaining tools to help locate and recognize my own personal grief has been very helpful to my healing. If and when the time is right, I would love to have a conversation with you about what this journey could look like for you. I offer The Grief Recovery Methodology through one on ones as well as group settings. If you have any questions or would like to connect, please contact me here or at www.second-sunrise.com
