“I've been seeing Maria for almost 7 years and I can honestly say there's been a before and after in my life because of her practice and support. My life has changed for the better and it keeps going in a direction where I didn't believe was possible for myself. I'm also someone who is bilingual and Spanish is my first language and the language I feel most comfortable expressing myself with. My sessions with Maria are primarily in Spanish and sometimes in English - to have that option has been fundamental for me. I feel so lucky to have found her. She has created an environment where I feel safe, heard, and I can be so honest and open with her. She's been an undeniable support in my life and I will always be so grateful to have found her. ”

“I've been a patient of Maria's for four years. While some of the initial concerns I worked through with her have changed over time, I've benefited from this consistent care as I've navigated different circumstances. I've worked with Maria on coping methods for anxiety and being better in touch with my emotions. I often leave sessions with new realizations or inspiration. Maria is attentive and draws on many sources in her work. She's played a huge role in my growth and well being.”

Maria’s work is so important and it is evident she is extremely skilled in her field. She clearly cares about her clients and is doing something she loves. Maria provides a safe space for her clients and is respectful yet still super caring. I am also grateful she speaks Spanish and I am able to easily jump in and out of English as needed. Thanks to Maria and I’ve had so many insights about myself that would have never happened if I did not meet with her. I am so grateful for her and would recommend her to everyone I know if I could.
Maria has been incredibly helpful in helping me navigate my mental health journey. Her approach is professional, scientific and sincere. I have been able to be a happier and truer version of myself thanks to the work we do. I would especially recommend her to people who speak English and Spanish, our ability to communicate in both languages always opens up new insights about myself.

From the very beginning she created a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where I felt heard and understood. She has helped me navigate through life challenges providing me with effective tools, insight, and encouragement. I highly recommend Maria her professionalism, empathy, bedside manner and expertise truly makes a difference.

In a few short weeks, I feel I’ve made considerable progress and absolutely recommend meeting with Maria.

Maria has helped me for the last 2 years and from those 2 years I’m so happy to say that she has helped me evolve as a person and helped me with so many difficult moments of my life. I truly do recommend for anyone who seeks guidance to be with someone that will take the time to really help you. My visits are always pleasant and I’m always looking forward with talking to her about my life when ever I have my appointments. I would highly recommend her 1000 percent.
I've been working with Maria for 5 years now. I found her services through therapyforblackgirls.com because it was important for me to work with someone of color. She has guided me through becoming more self-aware in a very warm, thoughtful, and caring way. Working with her, I've been able to strengthen my positive coping skills while analyzing unhealthy coping mechanisms. Maia allows me a space of full self-reflection without judgment. I highly recommend working with her.
One of the most helpful among many other things learned is about reframing perspectives of fear and anxiety. Growing an understanding of where they come from and learning tools that an help navigate hose thoughts and feelings
I've had the privilege of working with Maria for over two years, and the positive impact she has had on my life is truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend Maria without hesitation. She skillfully facilitates conversations that delve into deeper levels of understanding, yet empowers you to take an active role in the process. This approach makes the experience more meaningful and tailored to your unique needs. I now feel better equipped with the tools necessary to navigate life with strength and a better understanding of myself.
