Getting to know Maria Suarez

Hey! I'm Maria, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master's in Social Work from Fordham University, dedicated to supporting individuals through personalized therapy. My practice focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, emphasizing a compassionate and tailored approach to each client's unique journey. I like to keep things real and approachable, blending techniques like CBT and DBT to help you tackle your thought patterns and behaviors in a way that feels manageable. I'm also trained in Brainspotting and EMDR, which are great for digging deeper into trauma, and I use somatic approaches to connect mind and body. Really, it's all about finding what works best for you; I'm here to mix and match modalities to fit your unique needs. I work with a diverse range of clients, including adults and teenagers, with a special focus on BIPOC and LGBTQI+ individuals. My expertise lies in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and navigating life's transitions, all within a culturally sensitive and inclusive approach. I am dedicated to providing a safe, respectful space where every client, regardless of their background, feels valued and understood. I create a warm, understanding environment for my clients. My goal is to make them feel heard and supported. I use humor and honesty to build rapport and empower them to make positive changes. As a Nuyorican woman raised in New York City, I witnessed the unique struggles of BIPOC communities in urban environments firsthand. This instilled in me a powerful drive to support and empower my fellow community members through counseling that validates their cultural experiences. My shared background allows me to create a judgment-free space for healing unresolved traumas. Building on the warm and supportive environment I try to create, my approach to goal setting is collaborative and empowering.
