I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of New York with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, career challenges and life changes. My specialty is LGBTQ related issues in adolescence and throughout the lifespan. Additionally, I have worked with issues related to homelessness, immigration status, and family of origin.
My counseling style is client-centered, strengths-based, and culturally sensitive. I am committed to providing my clients with an environment that is non-judgmental, supportive, and interactive. My approach is always determined by the individual client’s needs and I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion without stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and rational-emotive behavior therapy. I strive to adapt and mold therapy goals to meet each individual’s unique and specific needs.
**Unfortunately, I do not have specific training in the areas of OCD, Autism, Sexual dysfunctions, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Neuro Cognitive Disorders.
It takes strength and courage to seek help. It is a sign of willingness to change. You should be proud of yourself for taking the first step in the journey toward being your best self.

Me now and me three months ago are two different persons. I have wings now! With Mayra’s help I’m learning and unlearning so much and quality of my life has improved. I’m getting rid of habits that were detrimental and building a stronger self. I appreciate all her care and work. Homework is the essential part of work with her and it has been very interesting! Thank you Mayra!

From 3-4 months of our weekly sessions, I feel big improvements in my wellbeing and I am very grateful for my sessions with Mayra! I feel such great progress in my daily life, my mindset. Mayra provided me with rousers to implement relaxation technics in my daily life. I couldn't dream of better support from a counselor. I feel improvement throughout my well-being, livelihood, relationship, and self-care.
I had done therapy and counseling before, and I never had someone that I can connect and trust that well. Mayra helping me with LGBTQ-related issues, trauma and abuse, family conflict, immigration and adaptation-related issues, as well as feelings of homesick. This is really essential education for me that will benefit me throughout my life.
