Getting to know Dr. John Maris
We come to therapy to understand and solve our most complex personal challenges. When suffering goes deep enough, therapy is an intuitive response to problems that are emotionally complex and cannot be solved by our ordinary methods. Therapy alleviates our isolation by giving us the specialized and dedicated attention of a therapist. Therapy restores or kindles confidence in our ability to make it through difficult times. Lastly, it gives us some emotional distance, some sense of freedom, from the at times consuming turmoil of our personal lives by stimulating a deeper or broader understanding.
I am not a passive presence in the room (or on the screen). I listen carefully for understanding and tend to interact-openly questioning, searching, and challenging. My roots are psychodynamic and contemplative, though I tailor my work to each client's unique needs. My personal style is warm, open, and engaging.
A particular interest of mine is the relationship between psychological growth and spiritual development. As a longtime meditation practitioner, I am drawn to ancient spiritual traditions and how they can inform and deepen our hectic and restless modern lives.
I hold a PhD in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, which informs my approach and deepens my understanding of the unconscious processes that shape our experiences.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In the first session we'll be checking each other out: you to see how well I listen to your issues and concerns; and me to see how you express yourself and to begin to identify patterns and themes for us to explore as our work develops. My intention in every session is to listen carefully to what you tell me about yourself and to then help you refine your understanding of what's troubling you and what you can do to feel better.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
