Hi there, I'm Maisha!

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who has worked within the mental health field for over 10 years. I developed my skills and expertise in supporting individuals, adolescents, and family dynamics.

My approach

My counseling style is compassionate, warm, empathetic, and behaviorally focused. I tailor my sessions based on the needs of my client while utilizing a collaborative and holistic approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, Solution Focused, Strength-Based, and Mindfulness-Based modalities.

My focus

I specialize in helping individuals with anxiety, strengthening coping skills, cultural factors, family conflict, racial identity, self-esteem, and life transitions.

My communication style

I communicate with warmth, empathy, and a collaborative spirit. My style is adaptable to your needs, blending active listening with thoughtful guidance as we work together to help you reach your goals and live a more fulfilling life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always had a passion for helping others and throughout my journey, I have gained valuable experience working with a diverse population.

My goals for you

My goal in therapy is to support my clients in improving their ability to cope with life stressors by tapping into their personal essence and resources to live a more relational and creative life. I am here to inspire and motivate each of my clients to live the life they desire.

My first session with you

I understand how personal the therapeutic process can be; thank you for considering me to support you in reaching your goals. I look forward to collaborating with you on your life journey.
