I am a licensed clinical social worker/licensed psychotherapist with 31 years of experience. During the course of my career I have worked to help individuals clients address issues that are standing in the way of them becoming a better version of themselves. I am licensed in the states of Florida and North Carolina. My experience as a psychotherapist has been with people of all ages, a broad range of issues and diverse cultural, ethnic, sexual orientation and spiritual backgrounds. My areas of focus are: helping the individual manage their response to stress in a healthier manner so the stress does not manage the individual, providing education and skills to cope more effectively with anxiety and/or depression, dealing with addictive behaviors, relationship issues, increasing personal empowerment over the consequences of trauma and abuse, developing an understanding of the impact of early life experiences on personal development and impact in present day situations, and improving self esteem/self confidence and self worth.
The principles that guide my work as a psychotherapist are as follow:
1) Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, dignity and compassion.
2) Seeking therapy is one of he most courageous, empowering, and healing choices one can make.
3) Helping the individual to understand, heal, and overcome negative life experiences from the past,
4) It is the therapist's responsibility to earn the individual's trust during the course of the therapeutic relationship.
5) Mutual respect and collaboration between the therapist and the individual seeking therapy make it possible for positive change to happen.
6) When it comes to the therapy approach, "One size does not fit all." There is no one specific approach that is effective for everyone. Therapy is tailored to meet each person's unique style to enhance the likelihood of positive results.
Congratulations on taking this very brave and important first step on the road to a better you!

while I have only been meeting with her for a couple of weeks, maritza is an incredible therapist, very knowledgeable, and knows how to make me feel very comfortable talking about the uncomfortable. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Maritza is the best therapist I’ve ever worked with, and I’ve worked with quite a few over the years. She listens, understands, and supports me, and her direct, no-nonsense approach has been exactly what I’ve needed. The amount of change she’s helped me make in less than a year feels like years’ worth of progress. Saying I appreciate her doesn’t even come close.

I’ve been working with Maritza for several months, and I can honestly say that working with her has made a meaningful difference in my life. She creates a space that feels calm, safe, and genuinely supportive.
What stood out most to me was her ability to help untangle patterns I didn’t realize were there and to give me tools to understand myself with more clarity and compassion. I never felt judged, rushed, or pushed; instead, I felt guided in a way that honored my pace and my needs.
Because of her help, I feel steadier, more grounded, and more capable of moving forward. I’m deeply grateful for the work we did together and would recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who is thoughtful, insightful, and genuinely invested in her clients’ growth with the years of experience to back it up.

She’s amazing. It would take me all day to write everything to express how much Maritza has helped me. Her guidance has helped me overcome tremendous obstacles. I still have a long way to go but I have been working hard and getting better every day. I know it’s due partly to my dedication but also to Maritza.

Maritza helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life. My mental health has improved immensely since working with her. She is practical and seems to tailor her approach to the individual she's working with. Maritza is a rockstar and I wish I had met her sooner. I'd recommend her to anyone in need of therapy.

I had one visit with the therapist and it was very helpful. I even felt good right after my session. Will definitely plan to do a follow up.

Highly recommend. Only two sessions in as of writing this but she is considerate, empathetic and understanding. However, she will also be forthright in her observations and not sugar coat things in order to help you heal and power through your problems.

Doctor Maritza allows and creates a safe space for emotional vulnerability. I am for the first time undertaking and saying out laud and dealing with my abuse. Dr Martiza has helped me identify how simple things like thoughtless laughter can be a double sided cook given a situation, and learning how I am denying myself to openly feel. I am undertaking the journey to protect myself and I am so thankful for having Dr.Maritza suggestions and tools to continue to progress and build on this journey. You are not alone, you are enough, you are worthy. May you be well in your journey.

Maritza Ejenbaum is the most intuitive, knowledgable, to the point therapist I've ever worked with. She sees through the "stuff" faster than any other professional I've worked with to date. She has helped me through a very difficult time and I'm ever grateful for her guidance and ear. When the feelings are so raw that you don't know what to do with them she is there to listen and respond with kindness, compassion, and healing tools. I'm so grateful for this platform and Maritza.

Maritza was helpful in the ways I needed for the time I needed it - she would get right down to it to make the best use of our time and listened with compassion and offered insight from both her professional knowledge as well as personal experience.

Maritza has been very helpful. I've worked with a therapist long term and felt like I wasn't getting objective advice anymore. I had certain, specific events I wanted to work through from long ago. Maritza was able to provide poignant, practical advice. I felt like I got more valuable feedback in 4 weeks than I have in several years. I am grateful to Maritza and the support she gave. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
