More about Maria

  • 13 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

As a licensed therapist in Texas, I bring over a decade of compassionate, culturally responsive counseling experience. My practice centers on supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges, with specialized expertise in trauma recovery, family dynamics, and women's mental health.

I offer a warm, integrative approach that honors each client's unique cultural background and personal journey. My work focuses on addressing depression, relationship conflicts, life transitions, and healing from past experiences. I am particularly committed to supporting young adults, multicultural communities, and individuals working through intimate personal challenges.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. My bilingual practice allows me to serve diverse communities with understanding and depth.

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.
