Maribeth Lieberth
I draw from a blend of therapeutic approaches, professional experience, and life experience, grounded in compassion and a genuine desire to understand your story. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are. Together, we will explore your path toward a deeper understanding of who you are and where you want to be. I believe our actions always make sense, even when they feel confusing or frustrating. By exploring the roots of unwanted patterns, we can begin to shift our responses and move toward a more peaceful and fulfilling life.
I have lived through many difficult situations which have added to my ability to understand some of the pain you may be going through.
I also believe that each of us holds the answers within—we all have the capacity to grow and succeed. At times, having an impartial, supportive presence can make all the difference. That’s where I come in: to offer a nonjudgmental space and the tools to help you make sense of what feels unclear, and to support you in creating meaningful change.
First session
At our first session we will talk about what you hope to achieve through counseling, what I can do and the basic ground rules of what counseling is and is not. After that we will lay the foundation of getting to know each other and me starting to understand your story. It's about creating a relationship you can depend on and trust. Nothing you say or don't say will change that goal. We will go at your pace, waiting for you to decide when you can feel safe and trust me and the whole process which is exactly what it is, a process.
Strengths
Patience, calmness, and a nonjudgmental approach are some of the strengths I bring to counseling. Difficult emotions, painful experiences, and trauma do not scare me. My goal is to be a steady, supportive presence for you when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. I come from a Christian perspective, while also recognizing that your beliefs, values, and experiences are your own. I believe each person has inherent worth, purpose, and the capacity for growth and healing. Counseling is my second career, and my life experiences have given me the opportunity to see people and struggles from many different perspectives. I have walked through difficult seasons myself, and those experiences have deepened both my compassion and my ability to connect with the pain others may be carrying. Over time, it became important to me not only to learn from those experiences, but to use them in a meaningful way to support others. What began as a personal calling eventually became the work I do today. I try to bring that sense of purpose, care, and genuine investment into every session. Above all, I want you to know that I am truly rooting for you. My hope is to walk alongside you, support your growth, and help you move toward the life you want for yourself—for as long as you need the support.
Ideal clients
I want to take the time to really understand who you are. I work hard to create a safe space where you can can explore the uncomfortable places with someone who is willing to sit with those uncomfortable feelings and work on first understanding yourself and finding solutions to change course of your journey. There are only 3 ways to answer any situation, stay in the situation and do nothing, stay in the situation and change something or get out of the situation. My job is to help you examine these options to see which works best for you and how to maneuver through that choice. I can't tell you what solution is best but I can help you stay focused on what it is you want for you.
