Getting to know Maria Mishkind

Hi there, I'm Maria! My focus is clear—it’s to get individuals and families back on their feet, feeling happier, independent and definitely not reliant on needing therapy for the rest of their lives ;) I don’t work for you, I work ~with~ you, in a humble, collaborative way. With my positive support, little by little, you can experience the progress that you deserve. My focus In my 25+ years of clinical work, I have had the privilege of working with SO many different people. Each one is tucked in my heart—and I have no favorite type of client. It is my responsibility to gain the trust of everyone I meet with. I work hard to earn a “seat at their table” so I can have the honor of listening to their life’s complications. My approach Together, we will meet and talk about what’s working and also not working so well in your life. I will help you outline what small steps you can start to take in order to create the shifts that you are hoping for. Then, I will walk this path of progress alongside you while we experience growth, tenacity and humor along the way. My communication style I am real. This means that I am honest, imperfect & fallible. Yet, I also I have enough positivity, compassion and humor to meet my clients where they are and help guide them to where they want to go. My journey to mental healthcare I began as an educator supporting complicated students who were struggling. Years later I became a mother and I had my very own complicated children. I realized that change actually occurs within the heartbeat of the whole family, not just with one child. I started to shift my clinical work from 1:1 child therapy to family work and parent coaching. My goals for you I listen deeply to my clients as they describe what they are proud of and also what they are hoping for. I use a strengths-based approach to coach change while teaching sustainable coping strategies.
