Maria Iniquez

My communication style

My style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be open and honest. I balance listening and validation with gentle guidance to help you feel supported while also growing and gaining insight. I promise never to be short of some humor and honesty with my true, authentic self.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into mental health began over two decades ago, working in nonprofit settings, where I supported and developed a deep passion for helping others heal and grow. Transitioning into private practice has allowed me to provide more personalized care while staying connected to my roots and values as a Chicana therapist.

My goals for you

I work with clients to identify clear, meaningful goals and break them down into manageable steps. Using practical tools and coping strategies, I help you build skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and shift unhelpful thought patterns. I also check in regularly on progress, making adjustments as needed so that therapy remains aligned to you.

Our first session

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a foundation of trust. I’ll ask questions to better understand your concerns, history, and goals, while also giving you space to share at your own pace. Together, we’ll begin identifying your needs and creating a treatment plan that supports your goals.
