I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience. My current focus is working with children, adolescents, and young adults between the ages of 2 and 22. My practice is dedicated entirely to this age group because I believe early intervention and meaningful support during formative years can have a lasting, positive impact on a young person's life. I have worked with youth navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral difficulties, and family, social and school-related stress. I often incorporate play therapy techniques into my work with young people, highlighting the ways that children and youth often express and process their experiences most naturally, through creativity and play. I also have a strong commitment to supporting parents as partners in the therapeutic process.
Seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, mood disorders, and other emotional or behavioral challenges.
As a bilingual English-Spanish provider, I am passionate about improving access to high-quality mental health care for diverse communities and creating a safe space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves in the language they know best. My goal is to build trust, empower healing, and support you every step of your journey toward better mental health.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficult life transitions begin affecting your relationships, confidence, and ability to enjoy everyday life. You may feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or uncertain about how to move forward. You don't have to carry those struggles alone, and meaningful change is possible. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, cultural and ethnic issues, women's issues, and trauma so they can build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create a greater sense of balance and emotional wellbeing. Working with adolescents and adults in both English and Spanish, I strive to create a welcoming, culturally responsive environment where you feel understood, respected, and empowered to grow.
Hello and welcome. I'm Maria Nazario, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with many years of experience helping people navigate life's hardest moments. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors facing grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and women's issues, as well as identity and family struggles. Together we'll honor your story, build on your strengths, and move toward the fulfilling life you deserve.
Life can feel heavy sometimes. You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, or simply exhausted from trying to hold everything together on your own. Therapy is a space where you can finally exhale, feel heard, and begin to better understand yourself without fear of judgment. I believe healing starts with feeling safe, supported, and genuinely connected. Together, we can work through the challenges keeping you stuck and help you build healthier patterns, stronger confidence, and a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.
I am an experienced and caring therapist with Ph.D. and LCSW certification. I view therapy as a partnership between client and therapist. I work with individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and difficulties with interpersonal relationships. Additionally, I have broad expertise in emotionally focused couples therapy, sex therapy and family therapy. I have helped clients from many different cultural backgrounds.
I support mutual respect and open communication in therapy. I begin by listening and understanding your situation. Together we work on a personalized treatment plan shaped to reach your goals.
