Hi there and welcome to Mind Trek Counseling! My name is Maya and I’m a mental health therapist providing services to all adult clients.

If you have been to many therapists and feel like you are just another nameless face. I see you. If other providers have told you, you are too much I see you. If your family or loved ones have made you feel worthless, I see you. If you have always felt different or you just didn't fit in I see you. I am here to help anyone, whomever you are. If you are struggling with trauma, narcissistic relationships, alcohol or drug addiction, self-harm or self-abuse I will hold space for you. I will help you develop the tools to feel seen and recover for the long term. Nothing is a quick fix and therapy is the long game.

I specialize in helping people who have always felt like the black sheep/the truth tellers in their family find their voice and their individual value. I am an ally of the queer, and marginalized communities as well as a champion for women's rights. I welcome you. I am here to listen to your story and provide trauma-informed care.

I am a straightforward therapist who will always tell you the truth. I am transparent, candid, and empathetic. I pride myself on being extremely comprehensive in assessing your situation and taking the time to hear all the details and see your whole picture. There isn't a life story that is too much. Come as you are.

If you ever have been through Cult Trauma, Troubled Teen Industry, and Wilderness Programs, I can help.

I am a Cult and Religion trauma therapist and I work with people who have been through cult trauma, troubled teen industry, and wilderness programs as they can inflict enduring emotional, psychological, and physical wounds. The journey to recovery is within reach, and you are not alone on this path. These programs employ coercive tactics, manipulation, and psychological control, leaving individuals feeling isolated, fearful, and questioning their own reality.

For those who have been manipulated by educational consultants to enroll in these illegal, non-accredited programs, recovery is also available. Parents who were deceived into choosing such programs for their children can find support and healing.
