Maria Poston, M.A., LPC
(#63370)
Counselor
“Psychotherapy is a journey into an examined life with the potential for deep and meaningful personal growth. My goal is to support you in that journey by helping you to strengthen your self-understanding and develop effective life skills so that you can confidently negotiate and resolve life’s challenges.
My experience as a counselor includes working with individuals who have struggled with mood disorders, anxieties, traumatic experiences, family issues, ADHD, conduct disorder, and personality disorder traits. My therapeutic approach is strongly guided by psychodynamic therapy, with the particular influences of attachment theory and mentalization-based therapy. However, I also incorporate methods from cognitive-behavioral interventions, such as cognitive therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Because everyone is different and presents unique circumstances, the client and I decide on which therapeutic approach is a better fit for his or her needs.
I take a genuine interest in my clients and strive to provide them with the optimal conditions for working towards their goals – through a curious, nonjudgmental, and caring approach. Give us a call and let’s begin your journey!”
- Mrs. Poston completed her Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. She has been working for the past few years at the University of Texas Harris County Psychiatric Center providing individual and group psychotherapy to adolescents as well as administering psychological evaluations.
