About Maris

Why Choose Maris?

  • Maris Psychotherapy is a therapist owned and operated small business. When you choose a clinician-run practice, you choose the highest level of ethical care.

  • At Maris, we exclusively provide therapy focused on six primary challenges. This means you receive more precise, effective support.

  • Our standard session fee falls below market average because we keep costs low and pass our savings on to you. We also provide sliding scale services and give plenty of notice of any fee changes, so there are never any surprises.

  • Maris has a team of one, so your therapy, scheduling, billing, and other administrative concerns are all managed by your therapist. This means fewer opportunities for errors or miscommunication, streamlining the entire process.

Our Name

Illustration of a five-pointed starfish with detailed vein lines -- the Maris Psychotherapy logo.

Maris Psychotherapy is derived from the Latin maris, meaning “of the sea.” Like the ocean, therapy is transformative, reflective, powerful, and life-sustaining. The starfish logo symbolizes regeneration and resilience, while the sailing imagery speaks to the effort, courage, and skill involved in navigating life’s shifting waters. Together, these elements represent a journey of transformation where you can chart your course with support, clarity, and strength.
