Hi, I'm Maya. Have you been experiencing anxiety or depression that is negatively impacting your life? I am an LCSW with a specialization in dealing with anxiety, depression and religious/cult trauma. Getting involved with a therapist can feel uncomfortable at first, especially for those of us who are not used to sharing our feelings. I am here to listen and let you decide which direction you want to take on your journey to healing. I will walk with you as you take steps toward a happier, less stressful life. I look forward to working with you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session we will review your intake questionnaire and discuss what it is that brought you to seek therapy. The first session is very relaxed so that we can get comfortable with each other and so that you can decide if you'd like to continue sessions with me in the future. There is no pressure. I'm here to listen.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use a mix of psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness techniques during my sessions with you. If there are other tools that will be helpful to our sessions, we can use those too.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have years of experience in dealing with anxiety and depression. I know that these are tough issues but I also know that, with time and work, life can improve. I also specialize in spiritual abuse and cult abuse. If you are looking for a therapist who understands the complexities of living under the pressure of a toxic, controlling religion or cult, you have found a therapist that can help.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
