Dr. Maritza Kerekes

I’m a licensed clinical and school psychologist with over 30 years of experience. I work with women who know they’re meant for more but keep running into the same obstacles, often rooted in a quiet, underlying sense of not being enough. You’re not in crisis. You’re functioning, managing, holding it together. But privately, you’re frustrated that your potential and your reality don’t match up, and you’re ready to understand why.

Together, we get curious about the habits and beliefs that keep you from moving forward. Through deeper understanding, practical tools, and a growing recognition of your own worth, you can begin to close the gap between who you are and who you know you can be.

I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is where much of the healing happens. I offer a warm, supportive, and genuinely collaborative space where you can practice being honest about the patterns that have been running the show. When those patterns have roots in painful past experiences, we approach that history with care and at your pace. My style is nurturing yet goal-directed, blending psychodynamic and insight-oriented work with cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and other methods tailored to you. Together, we come to understand how the very things that keep you stuck may have once kept you safe, and make room for something different.

Our first session is simply a conversation, a chance for me to get to know you, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope will be different in your life. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready to. I’ll ask about your history, your relationships, and what you’d like to change, and together we’ll begin shaping goals that feel meaningful to you. My hope is that you’ll leave that first session feeling understood and genuinely hopeful that change is possible.
