Our experience with Maria has been exceptional. She shows up as herself, is always direct, and brings solutions whenever we need guidance on how to work through a challenge. I don't know how she keeps up with all of the information we share with her, but each time we meet, it's obvious that she is detail oriented and always truly "taking in" what we share. We have only been seeing Maria for a little while, and already we can feel the impact of our sessions with her in our daily lives.

Maria is an amazing therapist, and someone I owe a lot of my “mental success” to.

Very natural in her therapy approach with in offering insight into things you as a patient could not verbalize. Being that sounding board that sometime you struggle with your inner self, and uses her skills to an excellent result during the session. Probably one if not the best therapist at growtherapy.
