“I have a tremendous amount of trauma from my childhood which is being reenacted in my current unstable and abusive relationship. It has been a very difficult journey, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. This practice has been a life saver for me.”

Getting to know Maryana Ambagis
We work with Children, Couples, Individuals and Families.
We believe in real, practical Transformative Psychotherapy focusing on more than just symptoms, helping each client live his/her happiest life through Positive Psychology. (Which is grounded in the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within them, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play) (Positive Psychology Center, 2016).
We use Mindfulness Techniques to help understand your thoughts and feelings and how these manifest in your body: yesterday, today and projecting into the future.
We have deep training and experience in a wide range of specialties, including: Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Agoraphobia, Depression, Trauma and PTSD, Eating Disorders, self-esteem and body image issues (from a health at all sizes perspective), Sexuality (including gender and sexuality exploration) and Kink, sexual pain/functioning, Death/Dying/Hospice, Bipolar Disorder, Relationships issues, Physical and Emotional Abuse, Personality Disorders, Chronic Pain, Adoption/IVF/Surrogacy, Spirituality, LGBTQA, DBT, Positive Child Rearing and Business Coaching.
We utilize Interpersonal and Analytical Skills to Enable clients to Improve Their Lives. Sessions Focus on Helping Clients Define and Reach Their Life Goals. The Theoretical Approach is Based Upon: Positive Psychology, DBT, EMDR, Object Relations, ACT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Art Therapy, anti-oppressive, strengths-based, and whole-person centered approaches, and Psychotherapy.
I am dedicated to disrupting the stigma surrounding how people connect. I specialize in working with individuals and couples/polycules exploring their relationships with self and others.
In Couples Therapy we also utilize the Gottman Method, which is based upon four decades of research with more than 3,000 couples. It is the most extensive study ever done on marital stability divorce prediction.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I recognize the path towards healing can feel daunting. It requires vulnerability, trust, bravery, and honesty – but you do not have to walk it alone. Together we will create a therapeutic space that encourages collaboration, exploration, connection, curiosity, and authenticity. Where you can come as you are, and work through your needs, without judgment.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In order for me to challenge you and invite growth in our sessions, I bring my full self to the room, just as I ask you to. My therapeutic style is warm, casual, kind, and honest (with a splash of laughter). I am committed to celebrating individuals for who they are, appreciating diversity and individuality in backgrounds, identities, and relationship styles.
My goal is to support you in feeling liberated to explore your past, empowered to work on the present, and step confidently towards your most fulfilling future.
I believe successful treatment is tailored to you and your unique lived experiences; It is crucial for us to honor all parts of you, all equally contributing to the beautiful person that you are.
No matter where you are on your wellness journey, welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I was having so much trouble with my children and parenting. It felt like our relationship was being ruined by the constant arguing. I learned about the 1,2,3 parenting method and positive parenting. I really did not believe these would work--but they really DID.

I started coming to this practice for Individual therapy and it went so well that I begin couples counseling here a well. Very detailed knowledge of the Gottman Method and EMDR. We finally understand ways to argue constructively. This has made such a huge difference in our marriage. Thank you!

This practice has been amazing over an extended period of time. Always professional, on time and they take care of insurance from start to finish. All I Need to do is come to therapy.
I am non-binary and had significant trouble finding someone to work through my sexuality with. So happy I found this practice.
