Getting to know Maria Wilson
Hello, my name is Maria Wilson, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving clients throughout California. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. I specialize in Couples Therapy as well as working with individuals struggling with Eating Disorders and co-occurring mood disorders and mental health challenges such as anxiety, grief, attachment struggles, relational dynamics, stress, and adjustment phases. I can’t wait to meet you!
My approach
My primary approach is client-centered, but I also incorporate interventions and skills from Narrative Therapy, Attachment Therapy, DBT, CBT, and Psychodynamic Therapy, tailored to each client’s unique needs. I offer an empathetic yet sometimes confrontational style, creating a safe space to explore vulnerable topics.
My focus
I work with individuals and couples ages 18 and older. My focus includes supporting individuals with Eating Disorders and co-occurring mood disorders, as well as couples seeking to reconnect, identify communication barriers, address attachment injuries, and set clear intentions and goals for their relationships.
My communication style
I see you as the whole person you are, not just the struggles you bring to therapy. I like to engage in conversations that feel like talking with a friend—while maintaining strong boundaries—and enjoy exploring deep, philosophical questions. I aim to move beyond surface-level talk fairly quickly, depending on each client’s readiness.
My journey to therapy
Since elementary school, I have been deeply curious about other people’s stories and experiences. From a young age, I knew I wanted to help others and illuminate the darker areas of their lives. I have never wavered in my dream of opening my own private practice, and I remain in awe of my clients’ emotional and physical resilience. I deeply respect the courage and vulnerability of those who choose therapy.
