Dr. Maritza Kerekes

I'm a licensed clinical and school psychologist with over 30 years of experience, and I work with women who know they're meant for more, but keep finding themselves stuck behind the same patterns that often trace back to 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 look honestly at what's getting in your own way and build the self-awareness and skills to do something different so you can finally close the gap between who you are and who you know you're capable of being.

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. My approach is nurturing yet goal-directed, blending psychodynamic and insight-oriented work with cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and other approaches tailored to each client. When these patterns have roots in past painful experiences, we explore that history with care and at your pace. Together, we work on understanding what your self-sabotage has been protecting you from, so you can finally choose differently.

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 questions about your history, your relationships, and the patterns you'd like to change, and together we'll begin shaping goals that feel meaningful to you. My goal is for you to leave that first session feeling relieved and hopeful, finally seen, and with a genuine sense that change is possible. It would be a privilege to help you recognize your own worth, release the patterns that keep you stuck, and move toward the life you actually want.
