Maria Strong
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
I welcome clients ages 18 and up living with anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders and the variety of challenges life can present.
Regardless of your unique stressor, burden or anxiety, regardless of your worry and concern, regardless of your challenge or source of pain, there is hope and more than one way to address the variety of situations we encounter in life. I have had the honor to work successfully with people who live with anxiety and the various manifestations and disorders of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and traumatic experiences...both small and large, some of those experiences being obvious and some not so obvious. When you choose to work with me, you will be welcomed into a therapeutic space to promote your healing and to an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard and non-shaming. My approach is ethical, strengths-based, and relational. To begin the journey of your healing, I will strive and seek to hear and understand you deeply without criticism or judgment. As the therapeutic relationship develops, you may discover deeper insights into yourself and gain improved self-awareness. Emotions will provide valuable clues to understanding your needs and healthy ways of meeting them. I love what I do and consider it a great privilege to provide counseling/therapy services.
