Maya Attia, LMFT

Meet Maya ...

“When I’m not seeing clients, I love playing the piano, singing, and noodling around on my ukulele.”

As a voice teacher, I realized my students wanted more than a voice lesson: they craved a safe space to express their feelings. So, I felt called to become a therapist, offering people a warm environment to explore themselves, guiding them to identify and address problems, and helping them gain confidence to share and meet their needs.

I work with neurotypical and neurodiverse adults and couples of all gender identities, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. My goal is to empower you to better manage your emotions, improve communication, and relieve conflict for a more fulfilling relationship with yourself and your partner.
