M. Claudia Maya

After several years of working as a Clinical Psychologist in Lima-Perú, I obtained my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in the United States. I have experience in assessing and treating families, couples and individuals within the context of their relationships, focusing on families struggling with a variety of challenges including trauma, parenting, anxiety, emotional and physical abuse, and loss.

My approach encourages the growth of emotional attachment and communication resulting in an integrated well-being.

I believe my role in the therapeutic relationship is to join with my clients to help integrate their experiences so that they move forward with resiliency, compassion, strength, and openness. I work from a multicultural awareness perspective considering gender and ethnicity, and from a perspective of life span development and systems-based theories and practices.

I have worked extensively with the Latino community; I conduct therapy both in English and Spanish. I am bilingual and bi-cultural. Having migrated from another country and adjusted to a different society has helped me realize that our differences are what bring us together. My journey, although challenging, has been enriching, making me the understanding, open, caring, and compassionate therapist that I am today.

I look forward to working together and supporting you on your journey!
