Hi there, I'm Maria Teresa! I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of experience in treating individuals including adults and children. I help my clients identify the roots of their struggles in life and find strategies to make the changes they need. If you feel down, fearful, feeling like all is falling apart; this may be the moment to meet and talk together about it. I am here; ready to listen and mindfully work with you to understand your needs.
My client can find a safe place where they can be themselves and share their thoughts and feelings.
* Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) * Existential * Narrative
In the sessions with me, you can expect an environment where you and I explore your thoughts, feelings and responses to your current problems; we will work on contextualizing them and finding the roles they play in your life and the relationship you have with them.
My ideal clients are adults clients who are looking for deep understanding of their unique experiences. I work to assist adults struggling with their self-esteem, anger management, isolation; and those who struggle with women issues and relationship distress to help them continue to build and maintain healthy relationships. I also support those in need to enhance social skills, anxiety management and emotional regulation.

Maria was very warm and welcoming. She treated me almost as if I was her daughter and she was trying to help me. She is so kind and listened to me without judgement. I truly feel after almost 22 years of searching here and there for a therapist, she is the best I have found.
