Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Shelburne, VT

Looking for guidance to work through trauma? Feeling stuck in your relationship? Wondering about your life’s purpose? You’re not alone. We all face challenges at different points in our lives, and sometimes we need support to find self-awareness and compassion—both essential to healing. Using evidence-based approaches like IFS and EMDR, I help support emotional and mental health goals. I believe we all have the innate ability to feel, heal, discover, and live a more uplifting life. All it takes to begin is the willingness to take that first step and trust the process.

Hi, I'm Maria and I've been in the mental health field for many years with experience in a variety of settings.

I specialize in working with those who are navigating chronic illness, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues and work-related stress. I work from a holistic approach in that I believe our mind, body and spirit can positively and/or negatively affect the other. I believe everyone is different and as such I work to ensure that the therapeutic strategies used in our sessions are tailored to each client.

Thank you for taking a moment to check out my therapy profile. Thank you also for taking the first step towards healing. This process is about you and helping you live life as optimally as possible. I am a LICSW ( Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) in both Vermont and Massachusetts.

Since 2015, I have been practicing independently, but I have been in the social work field since 2007.

The better part of my career was spent in public schools as a school social worker. I have in-depth knowledge of the IEP/504 Process, in addition to the struggles and frustrations of each process. Professionally, as a former educator, I have experienced firsthand the struggles and joys of public education. As a Volunteer Firefighter, who is Pro Board Certified, I have a unique connection to being a first responder in today's World. Most importantly, as an empathetic social worker with a sense of humor, I want to make therapy comfortable and accessible to everyone.

At this time, I provide individual sessions, couples therapy, and family therapy via tele-health. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. The areas of mental health that I specialize in are: Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Women's Health, First Responder Care, and Life Changes. If you are a team player looking for a teammate to work with you, I am your therapist! We will explore the goals you want to accomplish and develop a game plan to make them possible.

I’m Maureen Roianov, a clinical social worker with 28 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults through trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mood challenges. I work with clients in both New Hampshire and Vermont, offering a calm, grounded space where you can feel seen, heard, and safe enough to explore what hurts and what’s possible. Together, we’ll not only focus on easing your immediate suffering, but also on creating meaningful, lasting change in your life.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults of all ages who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and identity concerns. I have particular experience providing gender-affirming therapy and supporting clients as they explore and celebrate their gender identities. My goal is to help you build a meaningful life by identifying and embracing your authentic self.

Maybe it showed up when you became a parent, started a new relationship, went no-contact, searched for (or decided not to search for) biological family, changed careers, or hit a milestone age that cracked things open. Whatever triggered it, you’re probably asking questions like: Who am I really? Why does this hit differently for me? Why does everyone else seem fine when I’m not?

I work with adoptees who are navigating identity, belonging, and the emotional fallout that often comes with major life transitions. A lot of my clients are high-functioning, thoughtful, and exhausted from trying to hold it all together while pretending this stuff doesn’t matter.

My style is warm, direct, and very real—I swear sometimes and I don’t shy away from the hard stuff. I help you understand your nervous system and relationships so you’re not just surviving, but actually getting yourself. If you’re an adoptee in a life shift thinking “something’s off,” you’re not broken—and you don’t have to do this alone.
