Maria Ronda

Hi there, I'm Maria!

I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change. Working with individuals, couples, and families is one of the most rewarding aspects of my practice.

My focus

Using client-centered, interactive, and solution-focused approaches, I help individuals, couples, and families explore their particular challenges, discover new perspectives, and practical tools for growth and healing.

My approach

I strive to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental experience where clients feel safe to explore their personal challenges and gain insight.

My communication style

I am interactive, goal-directed, and practical.

My journey to mental healthcare

I entered the profession after working with individuals who were having difficulties navigating life's transitions in a college setting. My interest evolved after spending two years as a Peer Support Counselor for college students.

My goals for you

During the initial session, I will have a conversation about the client's expectations and goals for the therapeutic process that will result in positive client outcomes.

Our first session

The initial session is focused on getting to know the client, setting goals that help define the client's desire for resolution and positive outcomes and to establish clear expectations about the therapy process.
