Hi, I'm Maria, founder and owner of River Street Counseling Services, PLLC. I serve as a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, Registered Play Therapist™, and National Certified Counselor with over 12 years of counseling experience in a variety of settings including children’s advocacy centers, family violence agencies, in-home settings, and private practice. My expertise and specialty areas include treating trauma in childhood and/or adulthood, intimate partner violence, and traumatic stress through counseling, play therapy, EMDR, mindful movement, and yoga. My approach to counseling and play therapy consists of collaboratively building the counseling relationship and assisting clients with attuning to the totality of their experiences. I use a relational-cultural lens, which considers healthy connections and disconnections, attachment patterns and relational templates, and the impact of sociocultural contexts on clients’ lived experience. I also use a body-based framework that emphasizes self-compassion, empowerment, and strengths of clients as well as attending to the nervous system. I work with clients to examine factors that get in the way of their personal and relational goals and overall wellness. For trauma work, I use a variety of trauma-informed practices.
