The Mind Studio

Welcome! I'm Maria, a licensed mental health therapist dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, or simply need someone to talk to, I'm here to provide a safe, supportive space for you. My approach is compassionate and tailored to your unique needs, empowering you to achieve personal growth and well-being. Using EMDR and CBT, we work together to explore your past memories, thoughts, feelings and behaviors. We incorporate practical strategies to help you manage and overcome triggers and stressors. I have experience working with a variety of populations, with a current focus on adults. Additionally, I am passionate about helping families navigate the rewarding journey of parenting neurodivergent children. In our first session, we will review your intake paperwork and any assessments that you completed before your appointment. We'll also discuss any behavioral symptoms, and I'll share my suggestions and strategies with you. At this point, you can decide whether to continue with the next session, take some time to consider your options, or receive a referral to another therapist. My goal is to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident that I am the right fit for you. I specialize in treating a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, career counseling, grief, trauma, support for families with special needs, postpartum and more. I use evidence-based techniques in an integrative manner, tailoring my approach to what best suits each client, rather than relying on popular or commonly used methods.
