Meet Maria

Hello, I'm Maria, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges. Since 2016, I've been dedicated to providing compassionate and insightful therapy to those in need. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology in Applied Behavior Analysis with a focus on Criminal Justice from Purdue University, graduating summa cum laude. I then pursued a Master's degree in Social Work with a Clinical concentration from Fordham University, where I graduated magna cum laude. My advanced studies in Applied Behavior Analysis have further deepened my expertise in behavioral science, and I am currently pursuing BCBA credentials to enhance my professional capabilities even more. I specialize in working with individuals dealing with trauma, behavior issues, ADHD, and anxiety. I also focus on life transitions and adjustment issues, particularly for adolescents and adults. Additionally, I address women's issues and am certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional. My therapeutic approach combines psychodynamic therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping clients understand how their past experiences influence their current behavior and emotions. This blend allows me to provide effective strategies for personal growth and healing. In our sessions, you can expect a compassionate and supportive environment where we work together to overcome challenges and achieve lasting positive change. I am dedicated to guiding you through your journey, offering insights and strategies tailored to your unique needs. Being bilingual, I am also able to offer therapy in Spanish, ensuring that language is never a barrier to receiving the care you deserve. If you're ready to take the first step towards healing and personal growth, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to create a brighter, more fulfilling future.
