About Laila Marashi

Laila Marashi earned her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from Michigan State University and is currently a doctoral candidate at MSU. She is dual certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Family Nurse Practitioner. She began her career in pediatrics and expanded her scope of practice to treat patients throughout their lifespan. Laila has experience working in a wide variety of clinical settings and enjoys the personal approach that an outpatient setting affords her.

She specializes in pediatric, adolescent, and adult psychiatry across diverse diagnoses. She works closely with her patients’ and their families to develop individualized treatment plans specific to their medical and psychiatric needs. Her treatment approach is holistic, and patient centered.

When appropriate, Laila believes that medication treatment in mental health is just one piece in the puzzle of achieving optimal wellbeing and enjoys working collaboratively with other members of the care team to achieve this goal.

Unique Approach to Therapy

Connecting with each client is a vital part of my practice, unlike some providers in mental health, I view each person as important and not just “a number“. I find that checking in regularly with clients about their goals and current satisfaction helps foster a trusting client/provider relationship focused on individual growth. Also, I find it important to work with each person in identifying any barriers that may be present which could hinder therapy and medication from “doing their job“. I firmly believe that positive mental health and well-being does not happen in “a vacuum”, but many factors affect this, therefore a holistic approach is required to achieve lasting results.

Specialized & Extended Training

What makes Laila Marashi stand out is her high level of education and experience. She, along with all Start My Wellness therapists, attends at least 120 hours of extensive ongoing training and personal development per year in treating anxiety, depression, work stress, and relationship problems. This rigorous instruction differentiates Laila from others in the field and allows her to provide the highest quality of service to patients.

Start My Wellness definitely receives 5 stars. Their staff are incredibly helpful and want you to get the care you need. I did start by seeing Scott, but found him to not be the best fit for me. This can be a potentially uncomfortable situation for someone who already has anxiety on the best of days. Between talking with Laila who I see for medication and WISH I could have her as my actual therapist, and Mike Misiak at the main office, we are all in alignment on what my treatment plan is going forward. I am so impressed with Start My Wellness, which I found through the program my work started, I am going to be doing a full company presentation to talk about my experience and how SMW really does a great job of taking the stigma out of therapy! Thank you to everyone!

I have not been here but I go to the previous employer of Abigail (Platt) Schellhammer… I’m very saddened she is gone. I have seen her last 6 years. She is so professional and personable. I prayed she stayed in family practice in my area. I may just drive to Ferndale🥰Wishing her happiness. Also letting SMW know how lucky they are to have her. I’ve went to her replacement this week and let’s just say she CANNOT be replaced. I left crying after realizing I lost the BEST practitioner I could ask for. UGH!!!! Best of luck to her though she deserve the world.
