Getting to know Maris Chavenson

For over a dozen years my practice has focused on supporting people through middle age and senior years and the myriad issues that develop during these stages of life. Some of the areas of focus include: transition to retirement, managing the role of caregiver, sandwich generation challenges (caring for adult children, grandchildren and aging parents), navigating personal health issues, loss, grief, bereavement or isolation. Each of these problems can lead to stress and anxiety and other mental health challenges.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is to listen and support you through the process of self reflection in a non- judgemental way at your own pace. We examine current thinking patterns and behaviors and consider new alternative responses to the issues you bring to therapy. I help you identify your strengths and match them with tools to help you achieve your goals. My goal is to help you find new ways to cope with and manage your emotions and personal challenges. Together we will work towards acceptance and change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

the first session or intake is when we get to really know what brings you to therapy and for you to get to know me. Beyond that we can meet weekly or every other week. You are the leader in your own journey!
