Individuals, Couples, Teens and Parents
In addition to helping individuals and couples I love helping teens and their parents. If you and/or your teen are struggling please get help. You and they need support. They still need you.
My name is Maria Rowley
I am a straightforward, trustworthy, hopeful and, above all, a loving person. I care deeply about each of my clients. I want what is best for you. My belief in God guides my life and practice. At painful times in my life I have sought individual, couple and family therapy and have benefitted immensely. The pain and struggle has been an invitation to a new way filled with more joy and freedom. I am grateful for my husband of 29 years, the gift of two young adult sons and a 12 year old yellow lab. If I could I would spend all of my hours outside walking, biking, camping and sitting still in the beauty of creation. If you like we can do therapy outside.
Therapy is a gift to yourself. Prioritizing your well-being is crucial not just for yourself, but also for the strength and happiness of your relationships. We have all been wounded along the way. We carry negative beliefs about ourselves and experience physical symptoms and emotional reactions because of these wounding experiences. It is essential that you have a safe place to share your story and struggles. I will provide a safe place where you will be heard, respected and encouraged to grow and heal. Is faith or spirituality important to you? We can integrate this into your therapy.
Traditional Talk Therapy or EMDR Therapy
We can decide together what is best for you. Traditional talk therapy helps you understand and manage your emotions and behaviors through discussion and introspection. EMDR therapy enables us to focus more quickly on your present struggles and the past negative experiences that have contributed to these struggles. These past memories are reprocessed using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping or sounds). In EMDR we talk about how the past is present without us even knowing it.
My Training
I earned my Masters in Counseling - Marriage, Couple and Family from Messiah University. I also hold a Masters in Health and Fitness from American University and completed Basic Training in EMDR with Connect EMDR, approved trainer of EMDRIA.
