Stress is a common part of life, but when it causes physical symptoms that disrupt your daily routine, how can you cope?
Hi, I’m Maya Ribot, LICSW. I specialize in individual anxiety therapy for high-performing adults and working professionals. My goal is to help you understand your nervous system and develop practical tools for managing stress.
You're ready to do the work, but finding a therapist you can trust is the first step. Together, we’ll explore effective coping strategies that will empower you to navigate challenging situations with confidence and composure. As we progress, you’ll discover that stress no longer has the same overwhelming impact on your life. Instead, you’ll learn to handle stress in a balanced and grounded way, leading to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Through a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and somatic therapy, we’ll work together to help you embrace your inner strength, cultivate resilience, and find renewed hope as you confidently move forward in life.

If you’re a high-performing professional, anxiety may manifest as constant worry—about work performance, decision-making, or the fear of falling short. The pressure to excel and meet expectations can feel overwhelming, often leading to racing thoughts, sleepless nights, and a constant sense of being on edge. In therapy, we’ll identify the underlying causes of your anxiety, and work together to develop coping strategies and a healthier mindset. The goal is to help you regain control over your thoughts, manage stress more effectively, and find joy in your daily life.

Constant demands, long hours, and the pressure to perform can quickly lead to burnout, especially when you’re dedicated to your career. You may feel emotionally drained, disconnected, or uninspired by your work. In sessions, we’ll explore the root causes of your burnout, develop practical strategies for stress management, and restore a sense of balance between your personal and professional life. Together, we’ll help you reclaim your energy and passion so you can perform at your best without sacrificing your well-being.

Dating and relationships can bring up a variety of anxieties—fear of rejection, concerns about being vulnerable, or feeling like you're "not enough." These worries can create barriers to connection and intimacy, whether you’re currently in a relationship or searching for one. In therapy, we’ll explore the root causes of these fears, build your self-worth, and enhance your ability to communicate authentically. You’ll gain the tools to foster healthy, fulfilling relationships based on trust, connection, and mutual understanding.

The emotional experience of infertility can be deeply isolating, often accompanied by grief, frustration, and uncertainty. The pressure to conform to societal expectations can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. In therapy, we’ll address the complex emotions surrounding infertility, helping you process grief and manage stress. Our work together will focus on finding strength and resilience as you navigate your journey, whatever path it may take, and supporting you in making informed, empowered decisions along the way.
-
Self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism can cloud your sense of self and prevent you from stepping fully into your potential. Whether you’re struggling to find your voice or feeling disconnected from who you truly are, these challenges can undermine your confidence and clarity. In therapy, we’ll examine the roots of these issues, shift limiting thought patterns, and build a stronger, more authentic sense of self. By aligning with your core values, you’ll gain the confidence to live a life that feels true to you and full of purpose.
We might be a great fit if you are experiencing…
Overthinking or obsessing over what others think of you, whether in relationships or work.
Perfectionism that prevents you from feeling satisfied with you efforts or results.
Fear of failure or being judged as “not good enough,” leading to avoidance or withdrawal.
Self-sabotage due to low self-esteem, constantly doubting your worth or abilities.
Burnout from the pressure of balancing your personal and professional life without feeling fulfilled.
Overfunctioning by taking on extra responsibilities to avoid uncomfortable emotions can lead to burnout, leaving you feeling unappreciated and emotionally drained.

Reasons clients come to see me.
Empathic
I am deeply invested in the well-being of each client and fully committed to supporting you on your healing path. I firmly believe that genuine empathy and compassion are essential for fostering true understanding. These principles are not only fundamental in my practice but also guide my personal life.
Integrative
Lifestyle has a huge impact on our overall mental health. That’s why I make it a point to talk and process through more than just your thoughts and feelings. During sessions we will also discuss sleep, nutrition, physical & social health, and more.
Holistic
I approach therapy holistically, viewing each individual as a complex and unique whole. By recognizing your experiences, history, family of origin, and environment, I strive to help you achieve balance and well-being in all aspects of your life.
Somatic
I believe we have to include the body in this work. Without it, we miss valuable messages and information that can help increase self-awareness, self-compassion, and healing.
