How can we expect to run, if we have not yet learned to walk?

Hi, I’m Maria, a bi-lingual therapist whose primary focus is working with adults, parents/caregivers, children and families as a whole. I believe it is important to have a place to be able to open up and explore what it means to be part of a family.

In my space, we will work together to learn how to support and navigate family life, which often encompasses trauma, depression, and anxiety. I believe that building in these areas can help strengthen and secure our attachment with others.

I think it is helpful to have a therapist with many years of experience. I have been practicing therapy for over 25 years, so I have a great deal of experience with different kinds of problems/issues, and with different types of clients. I limit my practice to adults, with my specialty being older adults. Many of my clients are having issues with anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, or just the everyday challenges of living. I am a Christian and specialize in Christian counseling, but also have many clients who are not Christians. I enjoy helping people and seeing them improve their lives.

I am a solution-focused therapist, helping clients rediscover their true sense of self and purpose. I start where the client is, and we build from there. Starting therapy is like beginning a hike you’ve never been on—there will be challenges, but we take it together. I’ve brought plenty of support, and the view at the top will be worth it! I honor the journey others undergo and consider it a privilege to sit with someone, promoting healthy choices and offering validation and reassurance in their desire to improve their life.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
