Maura Winter, LMHC
Populations: Adults, Adolescents
My name is Maura, and I am a licensed mental health counselor. I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from Saint Martin’s University in 2020. For a few years following graduation, I worked in community mental health providing counseling to individuals with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, and trauma.
The work I do is client-centered and informed by systems-based approaches, meaning that I believe that how we feel is tied to patterns in our relationships, experiences, and the environments in which we live. I believe in helping others become more comfortable and familiar with our genuine sense of self can help us walk towards change and a more meaningful experience and that counseling can be a space to collaborate and find ways to explore possibilities. I have experience in helping clients utilize tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and take steps toward change. I look forward to the opportunity to walk alongside you for the next part of your journey.
