Dr. Maria Peters

She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and anger. She also supports people facing grief, addictions, body image struggles, ADHD, and major life changes.

Maria is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience in Texas. Her style centers on listening first and noticing each person's strengths.

She treats clients as the expert on their own life and works together with them to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, like communication techniques, coping strategies for intense emotions, and steps to improve sleep and daily routines.

Maria draws on methods that include attachment-based work, the Gottman Method for relationship patterns, cognitive behavioral strategies, and EMDR for trauma processing. She keeps explanations simple and makes concrete plans that fit a person's situation.

That practical emphasis helps people measure small wins and build momentum. Over two decades she has helped people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, adoption and foster care issues, and complex grief.

She also supports those facing workplace burnout, compassion fatigue, and career crossroads. Her sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of control.

People who choose her often want a steady, clear-minded therapist who offers tools and steady support. She invites a collaborative process and helps clients track progress at each step.
