Maria Vega
My name is Maria Vega and I am an LCSW. I have been practicing therapy for over 5 years now but have been in the social service field for over 10 years. I have experienced provided supportive therapy, CBT, and DBT to adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life transitions, and personality disorder.
I also have a lot of experience with mindfulness to guide clients who need to practice being more connected with their mind and body.
I love to provide psycho-education into coping skills, such as DBT mindfulness.
First session
Seeking therapy can be an incredibly brave thing to do, as well as very scary and intimidating so clients can expect a gentle and supportive approach from me. The first session is to explore client's history and current symptoms, as well as expectations for therapy.
Strengths
I have a wide range knowledge on different coping skills that can benefit clients who need tangible tools. I also have a lot of experience with mindfulness to guide clients who need to practice being more connected with their mind and body. I have a supportive and gentle approach, while also being able to gently guide client to reflect on their own behaviors.
Ideal clients
I love to continue to work with adults who need guidance though life transitions, increasing their coping skills and managing their emotions.
Treatment methods
Psychodynamic
I have used this talk therapy with most of my clients to help guide how their past experiences have influenced their current behavior.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I love the coping skills in DBT and believe everybody can benefit from mindfulness practices to improve stress reactions, relationships, and self-esteem.
Supportive
Sometimes you need a space to explore emotions and thoughts, and with supportive therapy I am here to meet you where you are and gently guide you through the waves.
