Maya Attia, LMFT
Meet Maya …
“When I’m not seeing clients, I love playing the piano, singing, and noodling around on my ukulele.”
Before becoming a therapist, I was a voice teacher. I quickly realized my students wanted more than a voice lesson: they craved a safe place to express their feelings. So I felt called to give people a comforting environment to embody, explore, and learn about themselves without judgment or shame.
I work with adults and couples of various sexual orientations, gender identities, relationship dynamics, and lifestyles. I’m sex-positive, kink-allied, and gender-affirming, and I specialize in supporting couples where one partner is on the spectrum. While in session, I invite you to share via musical or artistic mediums as desired.
