LCSW, 6 years of experience
New to Grow
I am Maria Jaramillo, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Connecticut and a former Multidimensional Family Therapist. I have a deep drive to help people improve themselves and the relationships in their lives. I believe that therapy should be both supportive and practical. I work with adults, couples, parents, and families who are seeking guidance through self esteem, stress, parenting, relationship and family conflict. Together, we will explore challenges in a collaborative and goal-oriented way, focusing on building skills, resilience, and solutions that make a real difference in your daily life. My approach is empowering and motivational, helping clients discover their strengths and move forward with clarity and confidence. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported and motivated to create the changes you want for yourself and the relationships that matter most.”
In our first session, we will mainly focus on getting to know each other and understanding what your goals are. I provide a safe and welcoming space for you to openly share your needs and goals. By the end of our first session you can expect to feel confident and ready to work towards your personal and/or relationship goals.
Over the last 5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many different people in many different situations. I have found the most success when I use a collaborative and multidimensional approach with clients. I like to know who you really are in all aspects of life. Getting a full picture of who you are can help me understand how I can best help you meet your goals. I consider important people in your life and welcome them into our sessions. Whether you are a parent, a spouse, or a friend, I can help you feel empowered and confident to address any concerns you may have.
Have you been feeling hopeless or disappointed within yourself or your relationships? Are you looking for a change? Within our time together, you will have a safe and welcoming space. Whether it be parenting, marital conflict, family conflict, or simply individual concerns, I am here to help. I will help you improve communication, reduce conflict and manage stress and self esteem concerns.
I utilize CBT to help individuals change any unwanted patterns of behavior in order to improve their quality of life.
I use a structural family therapy approach to help clients strengthen and repair the relationships that are important in their lives.
I use an MI approach to clients who experiencing substance use problems and are looking to improve their lives.
