Mayra Bonilla
I’m a warm, relational therapist who helps adults understand the patterns that shape their relationships, self-worth, and emotional well-being. My work focuses on anxiety, attachment, codependency, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, build insight, and begin making meaningful changes in how they relate to themselves and others.
First session
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’ve been experiencing, important relationships and patterns, and what you hope to gain from our work together. There’s no pressure to share everything at once. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer sense of the direction we can take together.
Strengths
I bring warmth, empathy, curiosity, and honesty into my sessions. I create a space where clients can feel supported and understood, while also helping them recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck. My approach is relational and collaborative, and I’m not afraid to gently challenge clients when needed. I help clients connect past experiences and attachment patterns to present-day relationships so they can build greater self-awareness, healthier boundaries, and more fulfilling connections.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who feels stuck in painful relationship patterns, struggles with anxiety, attachment, self-worth, or setting healthy boundaries, and wants to better understand themselves on a deeper level. They may find themselves overthinking relationships, people-pleasing, becoming emotionally overwhelmed, or repeating patterns they know are not serving them. They are ready to gain insight, heal old wounds, and build healthier, more secure relationships with themselves and others.
Treatment methods
Attachment-based
I use attachment-based therapy to help clients understand how early relationships and past experiences may influence the way they connect with others today. Together, we explore patterns related to trust, intimacy, emotional needs, boundaries, and fears of rejection or abandonment. The goal is to build greater self-awareness, develop more secure ways of relating, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
