After two sessions, I feel like I’ve already gained a lifetime of valuable skills and perspective to handle situations better. Friends and family around me have noticed a difference and I only wish I had connected with Maria for her expertise sooner!

More about Maria
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with a wide range of experience working with patients with depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and serious mental illness. I have also helped individuals work through life changes, career problems, chronic self-harm, and other presenting problems.
I genuinely believe that therapy is a healthy outlet for anyone - ranging from someone who needs to work through a change or someone with a persistent problem. My therapeutic approach includes a combination of solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and providing a warm and affirming environment to my clients. I am multicultural competent and an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. I believe that anyone who reaches out deserves dignity, respect, and empathy.
I will be happy to help you through your journey of recovery and betterment.
I look forward to meeting with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
