Maria Nazario

Hello and welcome. I'm Maria Nazario, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (Qualified Supervisor-Florida), with many years of experience helping people navigate life's hardest moments. I am available for supervision, consulting, and counseling. My path to becoming a therapist wasn't traditional, and that has shaped the counselor I am today. After leaving high school, I earned my GED instead of a traditional diploma. By my early twenties, I was raising three children, and once they began school, I made the decision to pursue my own education. I earned an AA degree in Education, a BA in Psychology. And, in my 50, my Master's.

My experiences taught me that growth doesn't happen on a timeline. Life often requires us to adapt, start over, overcome obstacles, and discover strengths we didn't know we had. I understand that change can feel overwhelming—but I also know that healing and growth are possible at any stage of life.

As your therapist, I bring both professional training and real-life experience. In our first session, my goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. Book with me through my website link to schedule a session!
