Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hi, I’m Maya, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience working with adults and children from diverse backgrounds. Throughout my career, I’ve supported individuals navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma—often during times when they felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward.

I’m especially passionate about working with women and individuals facing grief, maternal mental health challenges, infertility, relationship stress, and major life transitions. My work is rooted in helping people reconnect with their sense of autonomy, voice, and inner strength. I believe meaningful change begins when you feel truly heard and supported.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


My 18 years of experience in this field enables me to address a wide range of patient needs. I am committed to providing flexible, nonjudgmental, and culturally sensitive care to a diverse patient population. From the time of the first appointment (and consistently thereafter), the patient and I will review their reasons for seeking care, discuss current challenges and stressors, and identify treatment goals. This information guides my formulation of an individualized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs and objectives.

[Please note]:

I utilize an evidenced-based holistic approach with the patient's concerns being front and center. If medications are to be used, then it is priority to ensure that the most benefit is provided, with the least amount of medication onboard. The most important tool a provider can use is simply listening. We are all seeking that "better space for mental well being, and I strive in helping people move closer on this journey.
