Getting to know Juan Maillo

Hi there, I'm Juan! I'm a licensed MFT with 10+ years of experience specializing in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. I work best with motivated, insight-oriented adults ready to move past overthinking, self-criticism, and repeating patterns toward lasting clarity and change. My focus I work best with motivated, insight-oriented adults — often busy professionals — who are ready to do the deeper work, not just talk through their week. If you find yourself stuck in overthinking, harsh self-criticism, repeating relationship conflicts, or navigating a life transition, I can help you get to the root of what's driving it. My approach My approach is collaborative and compassionate, using Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you understand the different "parts" of yourself driving anxiety, self-criticism, or repeating patterns. Rather than just managing symptoms, we work toward the root cause — so you leave sessions with real clarity, not just coping tools. My communication style I bring a warm but direct communication style — I'll listen closely and ask thoughtful, open-ended questions, while also offering honest reflections and gentle challenges when useful. My goal is for you to feel understood, never judged, while still walking away from sessions with real insight. My journey to mental healthcare I've been drawn to helping people since childhood — friends confided in me, and I often played peacemaker at home. Born in Spain, I moved to the U.S. in 2007 for new opportunities. Living across cultures has given me a personal understanding of the transitions and adjustments many of my clients navigate. My goals for you I help you set clear goals early on and provide structure to each session, so we stay on track. We combine reflective work with practical exercises you can use between sessions, so progress isn't just insight — it becomes real change in how you think, feel, and relate to others.
