Great to meet you!

Welcome to the clinical practice site of Dr. Maria Alonso, serving numerous communities in the Pennsylvania, Delaware and New York regions as a Clinical Psychologist for over 25 years. Dr. Maria Alonso is a Cuban-born licensed Psychologist, fluent in both English and Spanish. She works with individuals across the life span (starting age 5 and beyond), as well as couples, families and groups. Dr. Alonso is also available to see clients virtually in 42 states.

My approach to therapy

Dr. Alonso believes in partnering with her clients and finding ways to empower them to create their own path for healing. She has a psychoanalytic and family-systems foundation and applies a myriad of tools from varied treatment modalities (including but not limited to CBT, EFT, DBT and EMDR). Maria’s approach integrates various treatment perspectives and tools from both Western and Eastern medicine to address her client’s needs in a personalized and custom-tailored manner.

What you can expect from me

Psychotherapy offers you an opportunity to examine your life story, gain new perspective and insight in order to re-write it and create a new narrative. I am a warm and supportive psychotherapist with an eclectic therapeutic approach, using both Western evidence based interventions as well as Eastern treatment approaches to help promote your healing and growth. I believe that collaboration, openness, curiosity and humor are key ingredients to a successful therapeutic experience.
