Maya enjoys working with children and adolescents between the ages of 6 to 17 years of age who are facing behavioral issues, anxiety, and depression. She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as play therapy techniques. Maya says, “CBT in therapy will help clients identify maladaptive thoughts, understand their actions when those thoughts occurs, and ultimately replace them with positive thoughts using helpful coping skills. Play therapy techniques allow my young clients to express themselves using creativity.”
