Getting to know Maria Arellano

Hi there, I'm Maria! I'm Maria Arellano, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist bilingual in English and Spanish. I hold a Master's in Psychology from California State University, Bakersfield. With over 8 years of experience, I help individuals and families improve their mental health and well-being by developing coping skills to overcome life challenges. My approach I use evidence-based treatment methods such as Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I also incorporate holistic approaches that consider mind, body, and spirit working together to achieve harmony and balance. My focus I have experience assisting individuals and families dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, substance abuse, anger management, PTSD, and stress related to life transitions. My communication style I provide a safe, supportive, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment that promotes positive change and personal growth. My journey to mental healthcare I have always had a passion for helping people. Initially, I learned English to assist with translation and interpretation. Later, I realized there were many more needs I could address. Since then, I have found working with clients every day to be deeply rewarding. My goals for you Together, I collaborate with clients to set measurable and achievable goals tailored to their needs and presenting concerns, identifying the steps needed to reach desired outcomes. My first session with you During our first session, I create a safe, genuine, and trusting environment to build a positive client-therapist relationship. In this space, clients feel heard, understood, and comfortable sharing vulnerabilities while maintaining professional boundaries.
