Getting to know Maria Grish
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of clinical experience working with adults navigating complex emotional and relational challenges. Many of my clients seek therapy for persistent patterns in relationships, di?culties with boundaries, anxiety, self doubt, or recovery from emotionally harmful dynamics, including narcissistic abuse.
My approach is warm, structured, and evidence-based. I specialize in Schema Therapy and hold Advanced Certification in Schema Therapy, with additional experience in training and supervision. Schema Therapy helps clients understand and heal long-standing emotional patterns connected to attachment, self-worth, and emotional regulation. In our work together, we focus not only on insight, but also on meaningful emotional and behavioral change that supports long-term growth.
I provide individualized therapy tailored to each client’s needs, helping them develop stronger boundaries, greater emotional stability, and a more secure sense of self.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
