Getting to know Maria Chappelear

Have you been struggling with anxiety or a lack of direction? Are you critical of yourself, feeling negative or sad? Do past issues seem to impact your present? Are you facing a challenging life transition? Change is hard and not always smooth. Sometimes we get in our own way on the path to the life we want to live. I can help you gain perspective and explore whether your thoughts and behaviors are supporting your journey or holding you back. Together, we can examine patterns, thoughts, and behaviors that may have been adaptive in a less-than-perfect past but are now obstacles. I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral approach to understand thoughts and behaviors and determine what will serve you best. Incorporating positive psychology, support, and compassion, I provide assistance on life's sometimes meandering path. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Chapman University, which informs my approach and commitment to your well-being.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I offer compassion and support. Life can be difficult and we are all doing our best with what we have. Seeing things from another perspective with guidance and support can help us realize what we are doing that may be less effective than other options.

Maria Chappelear, LMFT has 150+ in-network plans.

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.
