Getting to know Maria Jorquera

Hello, I’m Maria, a bilingual (Spanish-speaking) therapist who enjoys connecting with individuals across the lifespan. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can share your story at your own pace while we work together toward meaningful growth and healing. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, grounded in active listening, humor, and compassion, while also gently challenging you when it supports your goals. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in both inpatient and partial hospitalization settings, supporting individuals through anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and emotional challenges. I especially enjoy working with children through play and creativity, meeting them where they are developmentally and emotionally to build trust and help them express themselves. With adults, I focus on helping you understand your experiences, build resilience, and move forward with confidence and clarity. My work integrates evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, and acceptance-based strategies to help you develop practical tools for everyday life. I believe acceptance can be a powerful step toward change, and my goal is to empower you with skills, insight, and encouragement as you navigate your personal journey. Outside of therapy, I’m originally from Chile and value family, connection, and community. I enjoy traveling, attending concerts, spending time with loved ones, and staying active through sports which helps me bring energy, balance, and authenticity into my work with clients.
