Maria Estante

I'm Maria Estante, a therapist working with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. I have a broad and specialized clinical background, with expertise in ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, panic disorders, maternal mental health, infertility, and transgender issues, among others. I also offer neuropsychological testing. Whether you're navigating a complex diagnosis, a life transition, or something you've been carrying quietly for a long time, I'm here to help.

I work with individuals, couples, and families using a range of evidence-based approaches — including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, Humanistic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT), the Gottman Method, and Family Focused Therapy (FFT). ACT and EMDR are especially effective for trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders; IBCT and the Gottman Method give couples practical, research-backed tools for building stronger relationships. I tailor my approach to you — drawing from whichever combination of methods best fits your needs and goals.

Our first session is a safe, unhurried space to share what's brought you in. I'll ask questions to understand your history, your current challenges, and what you're hoping therapy will help you work through. Whatever you're navigating — a specific diagnosis, a relationship in distress, or simply feeling stuck — my goal is for you to leave that first session feeling genuinely heard and with a clear sense of what our work together could look like.
