Hi, I am Dr. Maria Mejia, and I have been practicing for over 15 years. I wear several hats, from teaching new therapists as an adjunct professor to supervising new therapists entering the field to my favorite hat, being a therapist. I am trauma trained in several different models, a gender-care expert, a resiliency and burnout prevention expert, and a teen whisperer ( what my teen clients' parents call me).

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first session involves me getting to know you and how your symptoms have impacted you from your desired sense of well-being. You will also get to know me and ask me any questions or concerns you may have about therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have a unique skill of getting to the root cause of your distress within a couple of sessions and collaborating with your team of medical professionals, family members, and school/work to implement long-lasting support systems to help you find mental well-being. As a university professor, I am skilled in several therapy models and will adapt the therapy model to fit the client's and family's worldview and preferences. Tambien hablo español.
