Getting to know Maria Lugo
I am a Latina clinician from Puerto Rico, fully bilingual in English and Spanish. I enjoy working one-on-one with adults who are navigating life, trying to reconnect with themselves, and figuring things out at their own pace. My work is integrative, with a strong focus on trauma-informed, attachment-based, relational, and gender-affirming care.
I value empathy, human connection, and creating a space where clients can feel safe enough to explore their unique story without judgment. Much of my work centers on exploring before defining, reconnecting to safety within ourselves, and creating grounded, tangible growth in a world that often does not give us space to feel. My style is warm, honest, collaborative, and rooted in curiosity, vulnerability, and meaningful connection.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is more about getting to know each other and seeing if we’re a good fit. I like to learn about your life as a whole and understand different areas of your experiences, almost like exploring pieces of a puzzle together to see the bigger picture.
We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your current challenges, and what goals you may have, even if you’re still figuring them out. If you’re worried about what to say, that’s completely okay, I’ll help guide the conversation. I understand therapy can feel intimidating at first, so I focus on creating a space that feels safe, collaborative, and grounded while we figure things out together at your pace.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What stands out about my work is the way I integrate trauma-informed, attachment-based, relational, and culturally aware perspectives while keeping therapy grounded and practical. I focus on helping clients understand the connection between emotions, relationships, identity, culture, and lived experiences in a compassionate and honest way.

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.
