Hi, I'm Maria

I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) clinician and I help people to learn to relate with themselves in a new way, loving and with self-compassion. I support individuals to integrate their past experiences, to understand what is happening within themselves at their own pace.

Learn About Me and My Psychospiritual Integrative Practice

I am so glad you’re here!

Deciding to go to therapy is not an easy process. Not only do you need to deal with your own emotional discomfort, but there are also all the other stressors. The unknown, choosing “the right” psychotherapist, and if you have medical insurance navigating through the benefits can be challenging.   I want to make it as simple as I can, making this process less stressful and overwhelming for you. I know what this feels like. The fact that you are checking my website is a big step, it requires courage and willingness to be vulnerable to yourself and others.

Psychospiritual Integrative Practice

When your feelings, thoughts, fears, and relationships are so overwhelming and painful that talking to a friend or family member is not enough, you may need the support of someone who cares, who can see and hear your pain. I am a trained, experienced, and skilled holistic psychospiritual clinician, who wants to connect with you. I can provide you with a caring, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can let yourself be vulnerable. 

Clients describe me as compassionate, honest, and trustworthy. I provide a safe, warm and non-judgmental space for people to explore their concerns and optimize their relationships with themselves and others.

Client Testimonials

Working with therapist Maria Parra was the best decision of my life. I initially came into therapy as a close-minded individual. Within minutes of the first session, I was able to open up and discuss things with her. She helped me through a rough period of my life. She taught me things that I will always remember. She was very flexible with her time and helped me a lot. She shared helpful resources to help with day-to-day challenges. She was supportive and understanding during our sessions. Maria is the best therapist I've ever had. She has helped me with so many different things and I am so grateful for her!

This is my first time looking for psychological help after a big loss. I have learned to deal with my fears and to accept what I can't change, it is hard but not impossible. It's a process that takes time but thanks to Maria's help I am still dealing with my pain and loss.
Ever since I was very young, I always felt a lot of stress and I didn’t understand why. The only thing I felt during my life was stress and it never went away, not at night, not on vacation, or during the holidays. I always had trouble sleeping and I was always exhausted. I had headaches and was sick all the time. The constant worrying didn’t let me enjoy almost anything. I went to the doctor multiple times to see if there was something wrong with me, but they always told me I was fine. It got to a point where I couldn’t handle my stress, my negative thoughts, or the feeling of hopelessness. I knew I needed another type of help because the way I was living my life was only getting worse.

I am so grateful to have found Maria. Maria is compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly listens without judgment. She understands my culture which is very important to me. My journey of healing has not been easy, but with Maria’s guidance, I have learned how to connect with my emotions which has allowed me to feel peace in my life and move forward in many areas like work and relationships. Now I can handle my stress and deal with my feelings in a positive way. Although my journey of healing isn’t over yet, I can honestly say that with Maria’s support I have learned how to make choices that let me enjoy my life, be present, and finally feel genuine happiness!
