Maria Mohamed

Maria Mohamed is a counseling intern supervised by Jill Baumgarner, LPC. I chose to become a therapist because of my multicultural upbringing, which taught me to embrace diverse perspectives without judgment. Growing up in a diverse environment, I actively engaged in personal growth and self-discovery, inspiring me to help others on their healing journey. Through my experiences in undergrad, researching communication patterns in diverse couples and studying interpersonal attraction, I found my passion for counseling couples and individuals seeking stronger relationships. My unique background has shaped me into an empathetic and empowering therapist, dedicated to supporting others in shaping their own lives. I work with both couples and individuals seeking to foster fulfilling and meaningful relationships. People need a sense of connection to thrive and to grow, but when they become stuck in painful relationship patterns or in the ripples of trauma, they can be left feeling alone. I support my clients as they explore the blocks to their ability to feel connected and supported. I guide my clients into understanding the emotions and needs that motivate their behaviors. With a more profound understanding of their relationship dynamics, clients can begin to open themselves to the vulnerability of reaching for and receiving love and support. For individuals, a richer understanding of their own internal processes can pave the way for self-compassion, growth, and more satisfying relationships. Ultimately, I focus on strengthening emotional bonds and fostering secure connections, whether as an individual or within a couple. Through self-exploration, couples and individuals can begin to heal from attachment wounds, deepen intimacy, and cultivate fulfilling relationships.
