Counseling

As we encounter change in our lives it is often accompanied by stress or anxiety that can dilute life’s joy. Psychology associates, or counselors, are trained to help you navigate these challenging times and discover a balanced approach for personal growth and exploration. Maria offers individual, group, family and parent support counseling both in-person and virtually to meet the various needs of her clients.

Consulting

Some solutions are only a new viewpoint away. Whether you are a parent struggling to coordinate virtual, in-person or hybrid education services for your child, a school administrator balancing inclusive classrooms with specialized services, or a teacher looking to nurture a culture of acceptance and engagement, Maria can help create solutions. 

Skills Development

All parents want their children to reach their fullest potential in life, and that sometimes requires a little extra support. Maria can help you navigate the complexities of your child’s development so they receive all the assistance and support they need to succeed. Maria offers virtual and in-person social skills groups that provide a safe setting to learn and practice social skills among peers, acquire conflict resolution tools and develop self-regulation. She also helps clients as a study skills coach, teaching the most effective techniques for improving executive functioning and effective studying. 

Assessment

Identifying why a child, teen or young adult struggles with certain situations is often difficult for parents and teachers, but a necessary first step on their journey to academic and social success. Maria offers a variety of diagnostic tests to identify learning and social disabilities in children and teens. Understanding the challenges your child faces will allow you and their teachers to implement appropriate learning strategies.
