Welcome to your therapy journey. My name is Maria Collar. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I graduated from St. Bonaventure University in 2013 and have been practicing for 7 years. I am currently completing a post-master's Certificate with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. I specialize in anxiety disorders and the development of healthier choices for wellness. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, confidence, and coping skills. I have worked in various settings including schools, community-based care, residential, and agencies.
I involve clients in the process of designing our approach, which means that you can be a true collaborator in the creation of your own therapeutic process. You get to decide what matters to you, and what sources of wisdom are meaningful.
My clients describe me as charismatic. My clients appreciate that I treat them as collaborators as we design together the best therapeutic objectives. Above all, what matters is to establish rapport as we identify the best ways for you to mitigate your symptoms.
