Maryem Irias, LMFT

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I cultivate a warm, nurturing presence so that my clients can feel firmly held and supported.  I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly, creatives, students, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, Latinx, parents, and caregivers.  My areas of focus include: managing anxiety, depression, life transitions, intergenerational trauma, social injustice, career/academic issues, parenting, authentic self expression, relational trauma, complex trauma/PTSD, body image issues, women’s issues, grief, bereavement, creative blocks, and spirituality.

As an integrative psychotherapist, I am flexible and have an inclusive approach to treatment, accommodating the therapeutic needs of clients. I incorporate techniques such as attachment-based theory, mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Jungian and imaginal methods, expressive arts, and nature-based interventions. I value the power of witnessing, empathizing and containing while my clients explore their unconscious material that prevents them from living a fulfilling life. I provide insight with a collaborative spirit and support individuals to develop an authentic and gratifying intimacy with themselves. My work focuses on fostering in clients a mindful presence, attuned connection, conscious communication, and the sacred path of deep intimacy.
