Psychotherapist
Online & In-Person
Are you or a loved one feeling stuck – uncertain about navigating changes in your life, how you see yourself, or how to reconnect with those close to you? When we feel stuck, taking steps forward can feel like a monumental task. We can work together to break down your thoughts and uncertainties, determine the best way forward, and put practical strategies into action, to empower you to create the life you want for yourself. In me, you’ll have a collaborator who will follow your lead and ensure you feel you heard but will be willing to challenge you and continue to motivate you towards achieving your goals. Therapy with me involves weaving together practical skill-building and evidence-based strategies to help you achieve your individualized goals. I work with individuals experiencing difficult life transitions at work, at home, or at school. Through individual, parent, or family sessions, we will untangle your thoughts, improve your self-esteem, and take tangible steps towards sustainable change. Neurodiversity (Autism & ADHD) affirming and LGBTQ+ friendly, I always take a person-centric approach. When you have a better understanding of who you are and what you want, your goals will feel attainable. Everyone has the ability to move past the struggles they’re experiencing, and together we can create solutions and develop skills to build long-term happiness. If you’re ready to learn how we can work together, email or call me for a 15-minute consultation.

Maya Gengarelli Ribot

Psychotherapist
Online & In-Person
I help anxious high achievers build awareness of their overactive nervous systems in order to calm the overwhelm and smother the burn out. Together, we will practice body-based strategies to calm the fight/flight responses, process & unpack the stories from your past using your body as a guide and develop a long-lasting plan for you to become self-sufficient in your own healing. I’m here to listen, validate, and facilitate. With somatic-based therapy, you will learn what it means to drop into your body, get curious about sensations, and embody the tools that finally keep burnout and overwhelm at bay. You are more than just tired. You’re burnt to a crisp - overwhelmed by the daily slog of work, family, and relationships. What used to fill your cup and bring you joy are now things that just drain your battery. Thinking about that never ending to-do list has left you overwhelmed and feeling defeated. But it’s more than just a mindset for you right now. You feel it in your body. The racing heartbeat, sweaty palms, the ache in the pit of your stomach. You’re having so many overwhelming sensations and feelings, you feel out of control. You know all the things that should make it better, but you feel immobilized; unable to shift into action. Or maybe you’ve tried talk therapy before, only to find that now that the story has been processed, you still don’t feel different. If you are ready to take control of your body & your life, contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to discover how therapy with a plan and the right therapist can make the difference in how to feel right now and beyond.
