Maria Rakowitz

I am a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LMSW. The thought about starting therapy can be difficult, but also can be a tool for growth. I have worked with Individuals and families for more than 15 years (8 years specifically in mental health). I've supported both adults and children across diverse environments, including private practice and nonprofit organizations.

I like helping individuals manage emotional challenges of any trauma, bipolar, depression; anxiety; relationship issues; adult ADHD; work issues, self-esteem issues, chronic illness, and adjustment to change.

I am an empathetic clinician who believes in change through a therapeutic alliance between therapist and client.

Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care. Once we decide to work together, we’ll act as partners in your therapeutic journey. It’s important to me that we communicate openly and you feel safe and respected in our relationship. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and support you along the way.

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.I strive to create a safe, warm and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles and finding a solution.
