About

Marisa Bertello is an AHPRA registered Clinical Psychologist and Psychology Board Approved Supervisor. She has a caring and client-centred approach that values respect, empathy, and the strength of the human spirit.

Psychology is Marisa’s second career, following many rewarding years working in small business. This background has given her a practical understanding of people and the challenges they face in everyday life, which she brings thoughtfully into her therapeutic work.

Originally from North Queensland, Marisa has called Toowoomba home for over 20 years. She completed all of her psychology studies at the University of Southern Queensland before beginning her career with the Department of Communities. There, she supported individuals living with moderate to severe physical and intellectual impairments — an experience that shaped her deep respect for human resilience and the many ways life’s circumstances can affect us.

In 2013, Marisa established her private practice to provide a welcoming and supportive space for individuals navigating life’s challenges. Over the years, she has developed a passion for working with people who have experienced significant life events, helping them find meaning, build coping strategies, and move toward emotional wellbeing and growth.

Marisa’s practice is guided by compassion, professionalism, and a belief that positive change is possible at any stage of life.
