Maureen Worden
I’m a mental health professional dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and evidence-based care. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal growth, my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from modalities such as CBT, DBT, Play Therapy techniques, Solution Focused, ERP, and mindfulness to name a few. I am guided by the belief that healing is possible and that every person deserves to live a life of meaning and connection. Clients often describe me as warm, insightful, and present. I believe therapy is not just about solving problems—it’s about discovering your strengths, rewriting old narratives, and building a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to walk alongside you.

First session
I’ll greet you with openness and respect. This is a judgment-free space where you’re encouraged to be yourself. We’ll talk about your reasons for seeking therapy, your current challenges, and any goals or hopes you have for our work together. I will ask about your background, health history, and any previous therapy experiences to better understand your context. Together, we’ll begin identifying areas to focus on and discuss how therapy might support your growth and healing.
Strengths
I do not believe in a one-size fits all approach for therapy. I draw from a range of modalities and adapt sessions to meet your unique needs and goals.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is ready to explore their individual needs. Someone who is willing to show up and put forth effort in their journey. I will challenge my clients to encourage change and growth, stepping outside of your comfort zone. Clients that are willing to do the work outside of therapy will see growth, but be patient because this does take time.
Treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
The use of DBT has been an effective modality of therapy for many clients with different needs. I do incorporate other modalities as well since not one client is the same. Tayloring therapy and modalities used is important for each client.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
It’s the basics in therapy and being able to see and identify how our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected can lead to real change.
Play Therapy
I incorporate play/art therapy techniques to help clients express what they are experiencing. Sometimes finding the words are difficult and this technique can help
