Hi,
I like clients to feel as if they are chatting with a friend when in session and feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
Be assured that I will provide you with the support and guidance you need to achieve your desired mental health goals.
I have been a therapist for 13 years and do so with compassion, dedication and directness with clients struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues at home, socially or at work. I also help those wishing to increase coping mechanisms when dealing with family/friends who abuse substances (co-dependency).
By offering insightful, practical tools and informative interaction, using primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I will work with you every step of the way to bring about the changes you need to improve your thought processes and emotions.
As I have stated, our work together will be direct and I will collaborate with you to facilitate a program personalized to your needs, helping you to make the necessary advancement you desire in your life. This will not only be talk- therapy sessions on a weekly basis, I will need your active participation through messaging and completing "assignments" to help us recognize your patterns of thoughts and feelings which then drive your behaviors, so that you can adjust and restructure them accordingly.
I also have enjoyed professional experience providing spiritual guidance and reflection to foster personal growth and intimacy with the God of your understanding.
Please, feel free to read the comments my past clients have voluntarily sent in about the results they have had working with me.
I look forward to working together!

She has been empowering me to go back to myself and the power of God. She calls me out when I'm spiraling inside my own head and creating stories that could destroy me and not heal me. I like that she is straightforward and snaps myself out of my own bubble. I am grateful for her.

Before having Mrs. Maria as my therapist, I was depressed, had slow self-esteem, and was in a toxic and psychologically harmful relationship; I even had moments of PTSD due to past trauma of rape. My mind has completely changed, and I have found the joy of life I thought I had lost. I am so grateful that Maria was here through my journey. The exercises she has given me to do are things I will continue to practice in my everyday life. I would 100% recommend Maria as a therapist; she is extremely respectful, hears you out, gives you tools to help your situation, and is an overall "safe place."

I have been in therapy with Maria Conception since three months now and I highly recommend her approach!
Maria is a compassionate therapist, and a good listener. I could open myself to her without feeling judged, and she has been of great help and patience to go through same issues over and over again with me. She makes interactions feel easy-going and informal, but at the same time she is able to identify the core of problems and to go to the point when offering suggestions and exercises.

Maria has helped & listened in a respectful, yet motivating manner. She's made me feel more comfortable with the things I've been through & not judged in any way or made me feel bad for the things that have happened. I went in feeling insecure, sad, helpless, and feeling more like myself than ever in the most humbling way.

Maria has been kind, patient, and full of guidance. This journey has been a tough one to start but she has gently led me along. She’s given me work to do every week which I appreciate, but she has grace when things don’t go as planned and I’m unable to complete them all.

I have been working with Maria for a few weeks and already finding the methods she’s helping me implement into my life are working and I am able to already see a shift in my thoughts and the way I process them.

I highly recommend Maria.

Maria has been so wonderful to work with for the past few months. She has such a welcoming personality, I felt so at ease sharing with her and discussing the things I wanted to work on. Most importantly, I finally felt heard, like what I was feeling was valid. She helped me develop healthy coping strategies for my anxiety and depression, helped me me more comfortable opening up and leaning on my family and friends for support, and really just boosted my confidence in myself. I can't thank her enough for her support!

When I decided to start counseling I was having intrusive thoughts about past experiences that were affecting my mood and my perception of the world and myself. Within the first session María Concepción helped me put these thoughts into perspective and change how I viewed these events. I still have work to do, but the first session lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders and I am definitely happy for it and for her.
