WELCOME!
Maria Vogel, MA, LMFT 124080 Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Do you ever wonder, “Why do I do that?!”
Change is hard - I get it. As a licensed therapist, it’s my job to help you explore. How did you learn to show up in your family, in relationships, and in the world? Is it still working for you, or do you want to make some changes to enrich your life?
With over 12 years of mindfulness and meditation practice, I teach clients new skills to help take a pause during a stressful moment so that you can have a wise response instead of a quick reaction.
My work is grounded in an understanding of how the human nervous system responds to stress. In our sessions together, we might do a grounding activity or breathing exercise, explore healthy communication, and help you connect back to yourself with kindness and non-judgment. It’s possible to feel better!
I practice therapy with a social justice lens and care about your unique perspectives and experiences.
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
