About Maritza Plascencia, LMFT | Relationship Specialist

My specialty is working with adult individuals and couples dealing with relationship issues rooted in trauma; mostly dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), childhood trauma, domestic violence and sexual assault. Relationship issues are often seen as indicative that a relationship is not working out. After becoming specialized and learning about attachment, I’ve come to see them as confirmation that we yearn for connection, but also as an opportunity to identify our wounds getting in the way that need healing. Working with an emotionally focused, trauma knowledgeable therapist can help you and your partner learn how to turn conflict into healing, so that you don’t have to heal alone. I believe therapy should be a space where we find safety and freedom to express all that we normally repress and where we should be free to explore all aspects of ourselves without fear of judgment. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Brainspotting (BSP) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), all evidence-based therapy modalities. My approach is holistic, culturally sensitive and trauma informed through a social justice lens. Additionally, I incorporate ancestral healing practices and spirituality into the work with clients that are open to it. Clients that typically form a strong connection with me are immigrants and adult children of immigrants (25-50 y/o), other therapists, their partners and individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community.
