About Me
Hello! I'm Maria, a bilingual (Spanish & English) licensed mental health therapist in Northern Virginia.
I graduated from George Mason University with a master's degree in Social Work and have passed my licensing exam making me a Licensed Clinical Social Worker! (LCSW).
I provide private pay mental health therapy to children, adolescents, and young adults. This allows therapy to be more flexible and private than using insurance! If you have a strong value of privacy, I 100% recommend going the private pay route. If you prefer a provider that is able to take insurance, I would be happy to refer you! Your mental health is important. Take the time to find a provider you connect well with and will help you make the most progress. You know yourself best!
I also provide short-term behavioral health therapy (STBH) FREE to students who are referred and approved by Fairfax County Public Schools or Fairfax County Department of Family Services.
