Hello and welcome. I'm Maria Nazario, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with many years of experience helping people navigate life's hardest moments. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors facing grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and women's issues, as well as identity and family struggles. Together we'll honor your story, build on your strengths, and move toward the fulfilling life you deserve.
My approach is warm, energetic, and empowering, with a strong foundation in trauma informed care. I use Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you understand patterns and manage symptoms, along with Strength-Based Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to build on what's already working and create practical strategies for lasting change in your relationships, work, and daily life.
In our first session, my goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, clarify your goals, and begin shaping a plan tailored to your needs. Expect gentle guidance, curiosity, and concrete next steps as we start building resilience and healthy coping skills that fit your everyday life.
