About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker/licensed psychotherapist with 31 years of experience. During the course of my career I have worked to help individuals clients address issues that are standing in the way of them becoming a better version of themselves. I am licensed in the states of Florida and North Carolina. My experience as a psychotherapist has been with people of all ages, a broad range of issues and diverse cultural, ethnic, sexual orientation and spiritual backgrounds. My areas of focus are: helping the individual manage their response to stress in a healthier manner so the stress does not manage the individual, providing education and skills to cope more effectively with anxiety and/or depression, dealing with addictive behaviors, relationship issues, increasing personal empowerment over the consequences of trauma and abuse, developing an understanding of the impact of early life experiences on personal development and impact in present day situations, and improving self esteem/self confidence and self worth.

The principles that guide my work as a psychotherapist are as follow:
1) Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, dignity and compassion.
2) Seeking therapy is one of he most courageous, empowering, and healing choices one can make.
3) Helping the individual to understand, heal, and overcome negative life experiences from the past,
4) It is the therapist's responsibility to earn the individual's trust during the course of the therapeutic relationship.
5) Mutual respect and collaboration between the therapist and the individual seeking therapy make it possible for positive change to happen.
6) When it comes to the therapy approach, "One size does not fit all." There is no one specific approach that is effective for everyone. Therapy is tailored to meet each person's unique style to enhance the likelihood of positive results.

Congratulations on taking this very brave and important first step on the road to a better you!

The wisdom she imparts is beautiful, healing, and exactly what I need to hear.

Outstanding. Perfect ability to hone in on my situations and helps me to absorb her wisdom and offers insightful suggestions ….. I could go on and on about how great Maritza is to work with I have taken advantage of speaking with her many months over the last 2.5 years.
Hire Maritza. I don’t think anyone would regret any talks with Maritza.

Maritza helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life. My mental health has improved immensely since working with her. She is practical and seems to tailor her approach to the individual she's working with. Maritza is a rockstar and I wish I had met her sooner. I'd recommend her to anyone in need of therapy.

I had one visit with the therapist and it was very helpful. I even felt good right after my session. Will definitely plan to do a follow up.
