The relationship with yourself, with your partner, and with your friends and family.
Most of the individuals and couples I work with are all experiencing some version of the same thing: unmet emotional and/or physical needs. The same fights over and over again. Feeling frustrated because their significant other just doesn't understand! Are you walking on eggshells? Having the same fight over and over again? Wondering if things will ever change?

My clinical interests include working with single-parent families, African-American women, multiracial individuals and families, couples, and exploring the effects of family patterns on individuals and their lives.
I provide psychotherapy services to clients to help them explore their lives and find meaning in their relationships. I work to empower and encourage clients to be more self-aware, explore their feelings, and improve their ability to navigate their experiences. I like to explore a variety of therapeutic modalities to find what best suits each client as every client is different and one size does not fit all when it comes to treatment. I like to listen to my clients and ensure that what I'm hearing is what they are saying. I also like to let them know they have choices, especially since it's their well-being that we are discussing.

I use a compassionate approach to working with people dealing with anxiety, stress, trauma, family dynamics, and inner-child issues.
Have the last couple of years stretched you thin, affecting your relationships at home and at work? Major life transitions like new jobs, new relationships, or significant loses, can require more from you than you could ever imagine. Many of us have come to a point where we can benefit from additional professional support. As a first generation Latinx, I know first hand the unique strength and resilience it takes to navigate life changes in an ever evolving world. My years of training and real-life experience in developing resilience has led me to be passionate and committed to helping others find their resilience within.

After over 15 years battling addiction and experiencing trauma, seeking relief from my own pain, I found a new way of life. Leaving the corporate world, I set on a path of service, connecting to individuals and families seeking healing of their own. Over the last two and a half decades on both sides, I gained invaluable experience working with several organizations in admissions, case management, counseling, aftercare and intervention as well as volunteering time whenever possible. Recovery is about finding healing for the individual and family while learning to communicate in a new way.

Depression and anxiety looks different for everyone and dealing with it on your own may leave you feeling worse. Perhaps societal or family pressures have led you to believe that you need to have it all figured out, which has resulted in unsatisfying relationships and self-doubt. You don’t have to navigate overwhelming emotions on your own. Therapy creates a space to hold the conflicting parts of you without judgment in order for you to thrive.

Underpinning my work is my belief in "tribe" ( family and community).
Hi. My name is Luis Maimoni. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in relationships of all kinds. Relationships with partners, with friends and family, and with co-workers are vital parts of our lives. When our relationships are great, we feel great. When our relationships are "having difficulties" or "experiencing challenges", so are we. If you're reading this, my guess is that one or more of your relationships is not in the "great" category. I can relate.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
