Not Your Traditional Therapist

What we offer

A powerful integrative and wholeness approach to women’s mental health, wellness, and healing, blending clinical expertise with deep cultural and spiritual insight. NotYourTraditionalTherapist — this work weaves together Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy, and Cultural Somatic healing to help women navigate life’s expected and unexpected transitions with compassion and clarity.

With a strong foundation in women’s health and body literacy, we support clients through all stages of life — including perinatal, midlife, relationships, growth, and recovery from trauma while navigating life with grace and grit. This integrative practice honors each woman’s unique story, creating a safe, nurturing, and empowering space for growth and transformation.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy for women’s mental health supports emotional well-being through a whole-person approach that honors the mind, body, culture, and lived experience. This work integrates body literacy, helping women understand how emotions, stress, and life experiences are held and expressed through the body. Care is tailored to every stage of life, including perinatal and postpartum, midlife transitions, relationships, love, and personal growth. Therapy provides a supportive space to navigate life stress, body image, identity, and boundaries with clarity and self-trust. A culturally responsive and faith-affirming lens is woven into the work, honoring values, beliefs, and generational context. This approach supports women in finding themselves beyond outside norms, strengthening emotional resilience, and growing into more authentic, empowered ways of living and loving.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy, including age-regression work, supports women’s mental health by working directly with the subconscious mind where emotional patterns, self-worth, and relationship beliefs are formed. This approach helps women safely reprocess past experiences, strengthen body literacy, and understand how emotions and survival responses live in the body. Because hypnosis accesses the subconscious more directly, a single session can create shifts that may take months to reach in traditional talk therapy. Outdated patterns such as self-doubt, people-pleasing, and fear can be gently rewired into healthier, supportive narratives within one focused session. Benefits often include improved emotional regulation, deeper self-love, stronger boundaries, and greater clarity in life, relationships, personal growth, and reconnecting with one’s authentic self.

These cultural somatic healing services integrate Reiki, Hypno-Reiki, and Reflexology to support nervous-system regulation, hormonal balance, and fascia release. The work honors how personal, cultural, and generational experiences are held in the body. Reiki promotes deep relaxation and supports the body’s natural shift into rest and repair. Hypno-Reiki combines clinical hypnosis with energy work to gently release subconscious patterns shaped by stress, survival, and lived experience. Reflexology supports endocrine function and embodied awareness through targeted pressure points. Together, these modalities help restore balance, emotional regulation, and body literacy, particularly during life transitions, burnout, and periods of healing and transformation.

What our clients say

What started off as a birthday gift to myself during a transitional year post undergrad, turned into a now going 5th year relationship of transformational healing, guidance, and empowerment. Reiki with Maria has been an extremely valuable and important resource as I stepped into and now walk in my womanhood.

Through her work, we are able to work collaboratively on an energetic level to promote my overall wellness and guide me through this thing called life. But what sets her apart is her ability to harness, empower, and protect my spiritual journey and gifts simultaneously. It's always such a cathartic experience of truly being seen with her. No matter what phase in life I go through, she is a guiding light. She's truly "not your traditional therapist", she is much more.

She's a home girl, a Tia, a sister, a mother, and every session feels like coming home and doing the work!

Hypnotherapy, has been a very humbling experience for me. As someone who has been in therapy for many years and tried different therapists. I'm so grateful that I have found you. You made me feel safe, comfortable, heard and seen, and I realize that is a feeling that I am not familiar with. I love how your scope of services allows me to create my own blueprint towards my healing. I appreciate how you take in consideration my faith, culture, beliefs that are very important to me and synchronize it into our sessions and work together. The hypnotherapy sessions really allowed me to connect to the root of my pain, struggles, and now newfound freedom. You are a beautiful soul.(Sol), I can't thank you enough with your generosity and compassion in the work you do!!! I get excited knowing that I'm gonna do Reiki with you lol, have a coaching session or even the deep deep stuff like hypnotherapy lol. There's no limit in the creativity that you have provided for me in mental health and overall wellness journey. I always thought It had to look a certain way with mental health and thank you for shedding your light and showing me that there is more than one way to heal. I appreciate you so much and thank you again.
