Maria Denardo | Trauma Therapist For Women

Much of my work lives in the quieter, often invisible seasons of life. The ones rarely named but felt deep in your bones. The long work of trauma recovery and PTSD. The ache of grief. The slow unraveling of relationships you once thought were unshakable. The pull of old abandonment wounds. The disorientation of postpartum identity shifts. The thresholds of career and purpose. These passages can feel like endings, yet they're also quiet beginnings, waiting to be met with care. In our work together, we'll listen for what's ready to be released and make room for what's trying to emerge.

I work with women and girls, specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, sexual assault, and reproductive mental health (infertility, postpartum depression, and perimenopause). Grounded in both evidence-based methods and mindfulness, I’ll help you grow into your next chapter with strength and self-trust.

In our first few sessions, you can expect a warm, unhurried exploration of your story, where we’ll build trust and collaborate on a practical plan tailored to your specific needs and strengths. My therapy is often described as gentle but honest, down to earth, and, at times, full of laughter. I won’t just nod along or leave you with more words or insight to describe your problems. Together, we'll actively shift the patterns keeping you stuck, so change becomes something you can see in your life, not just talk about in therapy.

If this sounds like the kind of help you need, I'd be glad to talk. A free 15-minute consultation is an easy place to start. You can reach out by phone or email.
