Maria Hollo

I am a counselor with strong values that guide my practice, the main value is respect. I honor the diversity in my clients. I help clients to achieve their goals and improve their lives by utilizing client centered care, prioritizing empathy, empowerment, and building a strong therapeutic alliance.

I also think it is important to create a safe space where clients feel heard and understood by attentively listening to their experiences and validating their emotions. I have been working with clients from different backgrounds, and I have helped clients to identify meaningful goals that align with their values and aspirations, ensuring they are actively involved in the therapeutic process.

I strive to practice therapy in a holistic and culturally competent way. I aim to take a validating, and straightforward approach with my clients. I also like to teach strategies based on evidence-based practices, such as mindfulness techniques, cognitive restructuring, and communication skills, to manage challenges and promote positive change.

I like to approach my clients with empathy and understanding. Overall, my goal is to help and be a supportive guide for my clients as they work towards their personal growth and challenges within a safe therapeutic environment.
