Meet Maria
My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
What it’s like to sit on the other side of the therapist’s chair: I know firsthand how intimidating it can be to take that first step - feeling nervous, unsure, and hesitant to open up to someone new. This takes immense courage, especially when you are just starting out.
The human condition: We are profoundly shaped by our experiences. Often, the behaviours, defenses, or coping strategies we carry today were once helpful tools that protected us. Real, lasting growth begins when we recognize that what once served a purpose may now be holding us back.

Booking FAQ
Does Maria offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.
How do I know if Maria is a good fit?
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.
What if I see no available times to book a session?
If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can to see what times they have available.
