Find Clarity. Embrace Growth. Feel Heard.
Feeling out of control?
It feels like overwhelming emotions take over out of nowhere, and you find yourself:
Struggling with persistent sadness, anxiety, or feelings of isolation.
Feeling stuck, unable to manage your emotions, and caught in a cycle of overthinking.
Reacting impulsively and feeling upset with yourself for your actions.
Finding it hard to communicate your needs, leading to frustrating conflicts and pushing people away.
Feeling detached from your life and believing something is wrong with you.
These struggles can make everyday life feel like an emotional rollercoaster, impacting your relationships, work, and sense of self-worth. You want to get help but are unsure where to begin.
Hi, I’m Maritza.
I’m a licensed therapist specializing in helping you manage overwhelming emotions and find balance in your life. I created Cognitive Clarity to provide a compassionate and personalized therapy experience. My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy; it’s about taking meaningful action together. I bring a hands-on approach, using evidence-based therapy to explore your triggers, develop practical coping strategies, and work towards a life that feels more manageable and fulfilling.
Specialties include:
-
Emotional dysregulation doesn't have to control your life. If you find yourself overwhelmed by sudden intense emotions, reacting impulsively and regretting it later, therapy can help. It offers tools to understand your emotional triggers, manage intense feelings effectively using techniques like DBT, and build lasting emotional stability. Transform how you experience and respond to your emotions, regain control, and start shaping a more stable, fulfilling future.
-
If you often find yourself overwhelmed by worry and "what-if" scenarios, leading to physical symptoms like tension or an upset stomach, you're not alone. Anxiety can disrupt every aspect of your life, from work to personal relationships. Therapy can help by exploring the roots of your anxiety, managing worries with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, and calming physical symptoms through mindfulness. Change how you live with anxiety and start enjoying a life defined by peace rather than persistent fear.
-
Depression involves a persistent sadness and lack of interest that affects your daily life, with symptoms like fatigue and feelings of worthlessness. Therapy can help by using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to change negative thinking, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to manage emotions and build resilience, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to align actions with values, engaging more fully in life. Therapy offers a pathway to not just relief but a fuller, more satisfying life, empowering you to reclaim joy and engagement.
-
If you often feel misunderstood or disconnected in your relationships, struggling with communication or recurring conflicts, you're not alone. These challenges can impact your emotional well-being and social life. Individual therapy can help by enhancing your communication skills, managing emotions with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques for better emotional regulation, and clarifying your relationship values and expectations. Working on these issues in therapy can transform your interactions, leading to more meaningful and fulfilling connections.
