Maria Martinova

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without having it all figured out. Together, we'll build a collaborative and transformative relationship that supports meaningful growth and lasting healing. I offer both in person and telehealth appointments. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, attachment wounds, loneliness, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, grief, and life transitions. Drawing from relational, somatic, attachment-based, IFS, and EMDR approaches, I bring warmth, curiosity, and genuine engagement to helping people understand themselves and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach is collaborative, engaged, and grounded in curiosity. I believe therapy is more than talking about what happened—it’s about understanding the patterns, beliefs, and experiences shaping how you feel, relate, and move through the world. I integrate talk therapy with mindfulness, somatic awareness, and practical tools to deepen insight and create meaningful change. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer reflections, and gently challenge you when it may help you see yourself or your situation in a new way.

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. Rather than feeling like an interview, I want it to feel like a real conversation. I’ll ask about what brought you to therapy, what’s happening in your life now, and the experiences that have shaped you. We’ll begin identifying what you’d like to work on and what you hope will feel different, while leaving plenty of room for your questions and for you to get a sense of how I work.

I'd love to connect for a complimentary 15-minute consultation.
