Maria Conforti

Maria has worked across independent practice, group homes, incarceration settings, nonprofits, and community programs, which shaped a practical, no-nonsense approach to therapy. Her style is direct and compassionate.

She aims to identify what’s behind a problem and then move toward real-life solutions. Sessions focus on clear goals, honest feedback, and skills clients can use between meetings.

Maria encourages clients to do active work in and outside sessions so change can happen. Maria works with people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, and coaching needs.

She also addresses abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, chronic illness, and challenges around commitment and separation. Her background includes work with youth in high-risk settings and experience supporting parents and people navigating major life transitions.

Clinically she draws from approaches such as Gottman Method work for relationship issues, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive-behavioral strategies. She blends these tools to fit the person in front of her rather than follow a single model.

Maria expects collaboration. She helps clients learn skills so they can rely less on therapy over time.

Her practice suits people ready to do honest work, try new behaviors, and move toward clearer, more satisfying relationships and daily routines.
