Connect with Maritxu Arlegui-Prieto

Are you tired of feeling “too much” and wondering why life feels so heavy? Maybe you often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or like everyone else got a rulebook for life you somehow missed. Friendships and relationships may leave you doubting yourself, replaying every conversation in your head, or wondering if you’re the problem. Perhaps you’ve tried therapy before, but it focused only on coping strategies, without offering the real understanding you needed. I offer a tailored, affirming approach for deeply feeling, anxious, and neurodivergent adults who long to feel more at ease, truly seen, and understood. Sound like you?

You deserve therapy that truly understands your experiences, not just coping tools. I offer online sessions for individuals, couples, and multi-partnered folks, with specialist training in neuro-affirming, LGBTQIA+, complex trauma, and relational trauma therapy approaches.

Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to make the process easier, relatable, and supportive. Online sessions mean you can connect from anywhere. If you related to anything from the above and want to explore the possibility of working together, I’d love to offer a free 30 minute call to see if we’re a good fit.
