Getting to know Maya Abouhamad
Your internal landscape—creative, complex, and resilient—is what makes you uniquely you. But sometimes the strategies that once protected you begin to feel constraining, keeping you from the connection or change you long for. Therapy can be a place to come home to yourself: to reconnect with your emotions, body, and the parts of you that feel hidden, confused, or in pain. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, grounded in trust and collaboration, with the belief that you are the expert of your own life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a trauma-informed therapist, I integrate AEDP, IFS, EMDR, attachment theory, CBT, and mindfulness, always tailored to your needs. As a Lebanese American with a multilingual background (English, French and beginner Arabic), I bring a culturally attuned lens that honors the nuance of identity, family, and intergenerational experience. I believe the insight and capacity for transformation already live within you. It’s an honor to help you access that wisdom and move toward a fuller, more grounded life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My role is to help you reconnect with your inner world, working together in a way that honors you as the expert of your own life. Grounded in trust and safety, we will move at your pace, using personalized tools to access your mind and body's wisdom and help you embrace all parts of yourself. If this resonates with you, please reach out for a consultation.
