How does psychodynamic therapy work and how can it help?
Psychodynamic therapy helps you better understand the deeper emotional patterns, past experiences, attachment wounds, and unconscious beliefs that may be shaping how you relate to yourself and others today. In our work together, we may explore how early relationship experiences, fears, shame, or repeated patterns show up in your current relationships, intimacy, communication, and sense of self. This approach can be especially helpful if you find yourself repeating the same conflicts, feeling stuck in old emotional reactions, struggling with vulnerability, or unsure why certain relationship or sexual concerns feel so difficult to change. By bringing these patterns into awareness, we can create more choice, self-compassion, and emotional freedom, helping you build healthier, more connected relationships.
I’m an AASECT-certified sex therapist and licensed psychotherapist who works with individuals and couples navigating concerns related to relationships, sex, and intimacy. Many of the clients I work with are experiencing distress around desire discrepancies, difficulty being present or fully enjoying sex, sexual functioning challenges, or are looking to explore and expand their sexuality—including kink, BDSM, or polyamorous relationship dynamics While I am highly trained in sex therapy, I also specialize in couples therapy and help couples navigating relationship issues like emotional intimacy, conflict, parenting issues, and affair recovery. Sessions with me are warm, direct, rich with tangible tools and strategies to help you overcome the challenges you're facing in your relationship. Each session is tailored directly to your needs. Together, we will normalize what's going on and find ways forward so you can start living your most fulfilled, erotic, and passionate life.

Maria Steiner-Renoir

PMHNP-BC, FNP-C
Online Therapy
Welcome to my world of holistic psychiatry and mental wellness! I’m Maria, a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), dedicated to guiding individuals towards vibrant mental and physical health. I help adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, and other mental disorders to regain their vitality and centeredness, create a better understanding of self, and achieve closer relationships with others. I specialize in working with women facing major life transitions and events such as divorce, adoption, birth, moving, severe illness, and death in the family. While I work with patients of all backgrounds, I am especially equipped to offer culturally competent care to first or second-generation immigrants struggling with issues of acculturation and self-acceptance. I support patients in discovering their self-worth and confidence while fostering a sense of belonging by working through their generational traumas and thought patterns that no longer serve them. My holistic approach to care considers patients’ physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Together, we’ll create personalized treatment plans that may include mindfulness exercises, supplements, medication, therapy, self-care rituals, nutrition protocols, and exercise plans. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: As a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), I take a holistic approach: I consider patients’ physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Together, we create personalized treatment plans that may include mindfulness exercises, supplements, medication, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments. I prioritize overall wellness, not just symptom management. I empower patients to actively participate in their mental and physical health journey. I reject the notion of a “one size fits all” approach to mindcare and wellness. My collaborative, personalized treatment plans are created with respect to your values, concerns, trepidations, and belief systems. Let’s create a personalized action plan as unique as you are!
