Maria Solanet, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Maria!

I specialize in providing comprehensive therapeutic services to the clients I work with. My approach to treatment is to foster and build a strong therapeutic relationship. My goal is to provide support to individuals in their journey towards emotional well-being.

My focus

I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, grief, and intercultural conflicts. Through this focused approach, my hope and aim are to guide my clients towards growth, resilience, and improving their quality of life.

My approach

My approach to treatment draws from a combination of strength-based methods, attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and cultural humility. I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental, accepting environment where clients feel comfortable bringing up and discussing issues impacting their mental health.

My communication style

My main goal is to make sure my clients feel supported, accepted, and safe. I try to create an environment where my clients feel brave enough to be honest and vulnerable. My hope is for my clients to learn tools and skills to navigate their challenges and struggles effectively.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into the field of therapy was driven by my desire to help individuals overcome and manage life's challenges. Originally, I first started as an educator and teacher in a Montessori school setting. There, my love of working with children and their parents grew. This drew me to pursue a degree as a therapist.

My goals for you

I believe in a collaborative approach to goal setting. Building trust is foundational to our work together. This partnership will allow me to support my clients in defining objectives that are attainable and realistic. We will track progress and adjust the goals to ensure that they are personalized and meet your needs.

Our first session

During our initial session, my focus will be on understanding how you have been feeling and the contributing factors impacting how you are feeling. This is an opportunity for us to establish and develop a therapeutic relationship and gain insights into how we can work best together.
