Getting to know Maria Otsuka

Have the last few years of overwhelming stress taken a toll on your mental health and relationships? Have your mental health issues or relationship problems become much worse over the past few years with all the added stress in the world? A lot of individuals and relationships are struggling right now with intensified anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, overwhelm, and burnout. Covid was just the beginning years of constant stress, political upheaval, relationship conflicts, forced changes - and people of all ages are feeling the effects of chronic stress and unwanted change, but don't have the right coping skills to manage it all. Many people are now experiencing mental health issues like social anxiety, relationship problems, panic attacks, depression and low self-esteem, constant worry and overthinking, digital or substance addictions, loneliness or lack of motivation problems, that have been made much worse by all the stress of the past fe years. I want to tell you, you are not alone. You matter, and there is help for you! Hi, I'm Maria Otsuka, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I offer audio/video telehealth therapy sessions that can make a big difference to reduce mental health symptoms and help you get back on track with your life, conveniently from the comfort of your own space. I started my career as a therapist after BEING a therapy client changed me and my life for the better! That's what makes me so passionate about helping YOU change yourself and your life! I love to help adolescents, couples, and adults unpack and work through their personal issues and challenges in a safe and respectful therapy setting. If you're ready to do your personal work and partner with a caring and supportive therapist to improve yourself and your life, then let's get started!

What should a new client know about working with you?

The first session is where we decide together if we are a good fit. Therapy is a journey, and like having comfortable, safe shoes to wear on a long walk, it's important to feel comfortable and safe with your therapist, who will be your partner and guide along the way. I will ask you a lot of questions to help me understand more about who you are, what mental health problems you're having now, and how willing you are to do the WORK needed to correct problems and reach your therapy goals. After the first session, we will meet weekly online to work on the goals you set out to accomplish, one step at a time. I'll create an individual treatment plan to address current problems, upgrade your stress management skills, and correct dysfunctional self-esteem & relationship problems.

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.
