Maritza Del Rio, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Maritza!

My approach is a mindful one, in which I help clients explore their internal thoughts and emotions and guide them so they can have greater self-awareness and make healthier conscious choices.

My focus

Clients who work with me tend to need support to break out of negative patterns, have a better understanding of themselves, find purpose in their lives, engage in healthy relationships, and achieve a higher quality of life. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and grief.

My approach

I specialize in grief and loss, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

My communication style

I actively listen as my clients speak about their vulnerabilities and challenges, with compassion and empathy. I also actively engage with my clients, and jointly we explore further insight and information that can lead to creating new skills tailored to their needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

Life has a way of presenting people with challenges they could have possibly not imagined they would have to face, and as a therapist, I find my purpose in helping individuals navigate through those life changes and witnessing their resiliency.

My goals for you

Goal setting is something I work on together with each individual to ensure their goals are tailored to their desired outcomes.

Our first session

My clients can expect a non-judgmental and safe space to be able to be themselves. It is time we introduce each other, and for me as a therapist to learn more about each client.
