First off, I would like to thank you for taking the time to seek out therapy, it's not always easy but you definitely came to the right place!
Hi, I am Maria Mir, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California with an MA in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University, a BA in Psychology and a BA in Women's Studies from the University of California, Riverside.
​
I have been the family therapist since I was a teen. Everyone would come to me with their problems because they knew I would always listen and keep their secrets secret. So really, I was a therapist in my personal life before I became one in my professional one. I love what I do. I genuinely enjoy meeting each and every one of you and the uniqueness that each of you brings. Everyone is different and it is a blessing to be able to meet so many people. Seeing my clients grow during the therapeutic process is fulfilling in a way nothing else is. Those are the moments that make me proud to be a therapist and those are the moments that make me appreciate and love what I do.
Throughout my career, I have helped many clients of all ages, backgrounds, and circumstances overcome their struggles. Often, clients feel overwhelmed and that there is no one to turn to who can understand where they are coming from. I genuinely care about my clients and am fully dedicated to their well-being, success, and helping them reach their goals.
​
I look forward to working with you soon!
Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is
as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong.
