About Maria Elias, LCSW- LGBTQ+, Trauma Therapist

Hello!
I know that making the decision to find a therapist can be difficult and stressful. You’re already one step closer to getting the support you’re looking for. I hope you find some helpful information here.

I am a licensed bilingual queer immigrant therapist that specializes in helping individuals process past trauma, manage anxiety, and build healthy relationships to live more fulfilling lives. I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment to help you learn new ways to cope, to explore your feelings, and to gain more insight.
I also help individuals who struggle with performance anxiety, whether it’s related to work or school. Together we can look for new ways to continue to grow and heal.

We can identify challenges that have impacted you, learn to heal and move forward stronger, healthier and more confident. I serve the LGBTQ+ community and BIPOC. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or not, I am here to support you on your journey towards self discovery and healing.

I am EMDR certified and use other forms of therapy to help you continue to thrive. 

Feel free to reach out for a free 15 minute phone consultation!
