Maria continues to work extensively with me and my husband on several issues in our marriage. She uniquely validates each of us and makes sure that we both feel as though we are bringing true and honest feelings to each situation that need to be worked through. We are grateful for the ways she has helped us.
We came to Maria looking for an EFT therapist to help save our marriage. We have been seeing her weekly for about 4 months now and feel that we accomplish more in her office in one hour than we ever could alone. She is very skilled at what she does. She is so empathetic and comforting. My husband and I are very confident in her helping us through the lowest point in our marriage.
Maria was so great. She was very compassionate, understanding, sympathetic and most of all gave me and my husband hope. We will be seeing her very often for a while!
The receptionist coordinating the scheduling process was very kind and helpful. I like that they accept text messages on their phone line.
It was my first visit with Maria. She was so empathetic. I really felt heard and hopeful
I have met with Maria for 3 years now for help dealing with the fallout of a family tragedy in 2011. Maria is exceptional at what she does. She listens well, she is compassionate and also very skilled with a lot of tools in her arsenal. She has guided me through the intense "figure out why you are experiencing what you are experiencing" phase, & she continues to help my navigate difficult circumstance I still have to deal with. I feel more like "myself" than I have in many years.
Tried others, they are the best.
First treatment. Information gathering only.
I've only had one visit, to date, but Maria listened and explained her process really well. I'm looking forward to working through the situation with her.
Great visit and would recommend!
We have and will continue to highly recommend Maria Wood to friends and colleagues. She has helped us tremendously with ways to communicate and understand each other. We are very grateful.
I am so grateful for Maria Wood. My husband went in for a session and the Lord was so kind to put her my heart to reach out to. After having done individual counseling many years back with Maria we felt someone I knew and trusted would be wise to pursue for marriage counseling. It was! Maria, listened and cared genuinely for each of our feelings and gave wisdom that brought to light many things we didn't know were happening in our relationship. We left feeling refreshed and helped in deep ways
I have talked with Maria many times over the years. She is compassionate, caring, and provides a safe and judgement free environment. Highly recommended!
Maria is both warm and professional, and she quickly made me feel at ease talking with her. She is gentle in her approach while also being highly competent in her counseling and supervision skills. I’m so thankful to be working with her!
Maria does an excellent job of making clients feel at ease and comfortable. I highly recommend her.
I started trauma therapy including EMDR Aug 2020, to help with the fall out (anxiety, panic attacks etc.) from a family tragedy from over 10 years before. I say this to point out its never too late or been too long to be affected by trauma and seek help. Within several months the worst of the anxiety symptoms had eased and we've continue to work on healthy approaches to the continuing impact of that tragedy. Therapy has been exceedingly beneficial to me and I highly recommend Maria. She's great.
Maria is kind and compassionate. Always listens and gives helpful guidance.
Maria has helped my family so much. I would recommend her to anyone!
Maria listened carefully and showed compassion. She offered helpful suggestions in how to deal with a difficult family situation. I went into the appointment feeling discouraged and left with a more hopeful attitude.
Very helpful
Maria is a wonderful, calming, listening, wise voice. She has helped our marriage immensely.
I've reviewed my time with Maria quite a few times-- feel free to scroll back for a good summary of my journey. Through our conversations, Maria was able to determine a path to a healthier way to process and move forward for me. I feel so much better than I have in years. I still have flare ups but I recognize them and have tools to put things in their place. Maria is outstanding at her job. I'm so thankful for her.
We have benefitted greatly by seeing Maria. She has a calming presence and listens well and maintains objectivity while empathizing with both sides of an issue. We are very grateful for her guidance and professional help with our marriage relationship.
Maria is gifted in her field of therapy, and specifically marriage therapy. We have learned so much and have changed several bad communication habits in our relationship as a result of our time with Maria. We are grateful for the opportunity to be counseled by her.
Maria is a kind, compassionate, and insightful therapist with the highest level of expertise. After losing both of my parents in a six-month period, I felt lost, scattered, and very alone in the world. Maria was instrumental in helping me work through my grief and gradually be able to function again. She is truly gifted.
I've been seeing Maria for over 18 months now for trauma and anxiety related to a tragedy in our family 10 years ago. I've written several reviews, and I still stand by all of them. There are many layers to working through these things and while I would say I felt relief from acute symptoms within months, continuing with therapy has helped me to move forward and make the hard changes to continue to move in the right direction. Maria is exceptional at what she does.

Maria is amazing! She is insightful, compassionate, and encouraging. I met her after I lost both of my parents in the same year. I had severe fear and abandonment issues. She has helped me tremendously. I highly recommend her.
At this point it has been 15 months since I began therapy with Maria for PTSD/Trauma related anxiety symptoms. We did EMDR to resolve/reduce the symptoms and have been working through relearning how to deal with certain situations from a better truer perspective. The continued support of therapy with Maria has enabled me to move forward in making changes in the way I respond to certain triggering or stressful situations and to respond better in difficult situations. (not enough stars up there!)
I've now been seeing Maria 1x a week for almost a year. Therapy continues to be beneficial. After doing EMDR for months, we are working on how to handle situations based on not on a trauma response but on sound relational principles and boundaries. It continues to be beneficial to work through the ramifications of the changes I am making and to have support to work through the emotional impact of those changes. Maria continues to be an insightful, compassionate and skilled therapist.
