Maria Quintanilla

Greetings, I would love the opportunity to join you in your journey towards continued emotional wellbeing. I am a proud clinical social worker with thirty eight years of professional experience working with all age groups with various presenting issues. I have also supported mental health, medical care providers, law enforcement and graduate students as they navigate their roles as first responders. I am Endorsed as an Infant Parent & Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist and a Reflective Practice FacilitatorI II. I have thirty years of practice working with adoptive and foster parents. I am also a Certified Bereavement Facilitator and Child Trauma Academy Fellow. I am fluent in Spanish and Spanglish which helps reduce cultural misunderstandings. I acknowledge that reaching out to explore life's challenges is not easy, but rest assured that my approach is compassionate and client centered.

I am approachable and welcoming. My goal is to work collaboratively with you as we explore your presenting issues and prioritizing treatment goals. Special focus on how your life experiences have impacted your world view, current challenges and coping.

My goal is to create an environment that is conducive to honest communication, safety, mindful reflections and identifying strategies to address your presenting concerns.
