Great to meet you!

Hi there, I’m Maria Avina. For me, therapy is all about helping individuals find healing in many areas of their life. I have over 15 years of experience working as a therapist in the community. My approach: I set clear goals for myself and my clients, and treat every session as an opportunity to make progress. I approach therapy through a person-centered lens and through other holistic approaches. I am excited to work with anyone seeking healing and self growth.

My approach to therapy

I provide counseling and therapy to people of all ages facing a wide range of difficulties in a gentle, supportive environment. I believe in the power of your inner healing and psyche wisdom and tapping into it to guide you. I approach the therapeutic process with a holistic lens, focusing on mind-body-spirit wellness; they are all connected and all matter. I believe in processing and healing past wounds, while also working with body and what is coming up in the present moment.

What you can expect from me

I like to set up a safe and trusting environment for the clients. My sessions are client-lead. I am here to hear the client and provide space for them. During the first session, I allow the clients to ask questions and address their needs
