About
Hello there! I'm Maris, like Paris but with an "M." I’m a therapist based in Illinois and I have a passion for working with women of all ages. Through the years, I have found the most rewarding work to be with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, and/or those reconciling histories of trauma. My style is warm, non judgmental, trauma informed, and, most importantly, collaborative. My initial goal is to build and nurture a strong rapport with you. Without a solid foundation to our therapeutic relationship, I don’t believe we can accomplish our treatment goals half as effectively. So, getting to know you, your experiences, and perspective is my top priority. After all, you are the expert on your own life! I have an eclectic approach when it comes to treatment modalities, which means I pull from all of my training, while prioritizing science-based therapies, like cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness strategies, examining attachment patterns, and so on and so forth. Basically, I tailor treatment and sessions to your unique set of concerns and goals, nothing cookie-cutter over here. If you like the sound of this, please reach out and we can start a conversation. I applaud you for starting this journey towards change—it takes a lot of courage to make the first step, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
