Getting to know Maija Kai Slisco

Welcome, I'm a trauma-informed therapist with nearly a decade of experience supporting adults through mental health challenges, addiction, and major life transitions. My work is grounded in psychodynamic theory and early attachment theory. I help clients uncover early patterns that shape current thoughts, emotions, and relationships. My approach Therapy with me is collaborative, personalized, and often infused with a gentle sense of humor, allowing us to work through challenges in a supportive and engaging way. Viewing experiences through a trauma-informed lens, together we will explore patterns, develop strategies, and build skills for growth. My focus I support adults and couples navigating trauma, grief, addictions, and life transitions. I gently challenge unhelpful patterns while providing a safe space allowing for insight, self-awareness, and resilience. My communication style I communicate with empathy, curiosity, and clarity. I'm collaborative, reflective, and respectful, while remaining authentically aligned with my core values. I strive to have you feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore and grow at your own pace. My journey to mental healthcare A lifetime of personal challenges, along with my own experiences navigating mental health, inspired me to become a therapist. Few experiences are as meaningful as witnessing someone find a bit of light after a period of darkness. My goals for you I approach goal setting collaboratively; together we set realistic, meaningful goals that align with your values and strengths while remaining flexible to adjust as needs evolve. My first session with you The first session is a relaxed and supportive space to share what's been challenging and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We will explore whether our partnership in therapy is a good match for your needs.
