Great to meet you!

I’m Maria McGurk-Tschaar, a licensed clinical social worker in New York. I earned my Master of Social Work from the State University of New York at Albany and bring a steady, compassionate presence to the therapeutic relationship. I offer virtual appointments for people looking for a supportive place to talk, reflect, and take meaningful steps toward feeling better.

My approach to therapy

Therapy is most helpful when it feels collaborative, respectful, and grounded in your real life. I’ll take time to understand your experiences, listen without judgment, and work with you to identify practical next steps that fit your needs and goals. My aim is to create a space where you can be open, feel understood, and move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

What you can expect from me

Sessions are offered through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth with audio and video options. Whether you’re beginning therapy or returning to it, you can expect a welcoming, thoughtful conversation focused on you. I’m currently accepting new patients by appointment in New York.
