Getting to know Maida Ferraes
Hi there, I'm Maida!
I am Maida Ferraes, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California (LMFT 122252), and I have been working in the counseling field since 2015. My appreciation and love for the human experience and for helping others have been a lifelong journey. I want to support you in your process of healing.
My approach
In my work with clients, I use leading psychological modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
My focus
I have experience conducting individual and group therapy in-office, as well as in residential and outpatient settings. I work with clients presenting with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship and parenting issues, teen concerns, and a wide range of challenges including grief/loss, insomnia, addiction, trauma, abuse, bipolar disorder, personal growth, adjustment issues, and crisis.
My communication style
I am enthusiastic, energetic, self-motivated, compassionate, and patient. I believe having a stable mindset and a levelheaded personality helps provide effective counseling. Each individual requires special attention, not just patience but also understanding and compassion.
My journey to therapy
I have always been naturally drawn to helping people through difficult times. Throughout my life, I have encountered many mental health concerns among friends, family, and colleagues. As a therapist, I am deeply interested in human needs and how the mind works. My professional studies and experiences have shown me how life events challenge the mind and raise questions about different situations. Working in a long-term locked facility for individuals with severe mental illness opened my eyes to a different approach.
