Psychotherapy · Measurement · Resources

An honest signal.
A more thoughtful approach.

I’m Marisa Cherry, a clinical social worker building tools, frameworks and resources at the intersection of psychotherapy and physiological measurement.

01

Status

Clinician-facing platform. Classification thresholds preliminary and not validated.

Revago

Structured autonomic measurement

Revago is a clinician-facing platform for structured autonomic measurement, built for licensed mental health clinicians. A standardized stress test captures rest, cognitive load and recovery. Classification uses RMSSD and heart rate, with measurements recorded over time.

Revago is the measurement platform delivering the Autonomic Regulation Protocol (ARP). ARP is the structured HRV biofeedback protocol. Measurement supports clinical judgment; it does not replace it, and Revago does not diagnose.

Status

Protocol in development. Trial designed, not yet begun.

ARP

Autonomic Regulation Protocol

ARP is a structured, fourteen session HRV biofeedback protocol. Revago is the clinician-facing measurement platform that delivers it.

The aim is a protocol that is precise about what it asks of a client, session by session, and honest about what a physiological signal can and cannot tell us.

03

Status

Developing framework. Not a clinically validated protocol.

Highlands

ERP adapted for co-occurring ADHD and OCD

Exposure and response prevention asks a great deal of attention and executive function. For adults living with both ADHD and OCD, those demands can quietly become the obstacle. Highlands is a framework for adapting how ERP is delivered: pacing, structure, practical scaffolding and resources for clinicians.

The clinician workbook is written for licensed mental health clinicians already trained in ERP.

04

Status

Available. Free general wellness app.

Return

Guess first, then look.

A separate, free general wellness app for personal reflection. Before you see a number, you record how you feel. Then you look. Over time you can explore your own patterns and notice where your sense of yourself and the measurement agree, and where they do not.

05

Status

Education and work in development.

ADHD

Adult ADHD education and practical frameworks

A separate body of work on adult ADHD: what it means to be recognized late, what years of compensation cost, and how to build executive function supports that hold up in ordinary life. This is distinct from Highlands, which focuses on co-occurring OCD.

Current focus

  • Late recognition
  • The cost of compensation
  • Executive function supports

About

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in California and Florida. My work sits where psychotherapy meets physiological measurement, and where good ideas need practical resources to be useful.

I try to be careful about the difference between what is promising and what is proven, and to say plainly which is which.
