About MAIDA
MAIDA FERRAES is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California who helps people managing depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She works with issues such as grief, insomnia, addiction, trauma, mood disorders, relationship and parenting concerns. Her tone is warm and practical, and she aims to help people take steps that feel manageable day to day.
She has worked in counseling since 2017 and brings seven years of clinical experience. That work has included individual and group therapy in office, residential, and outpatient settings. This range means she is familiar with common struggles like bipolar symptoms, substance use, and adjustment after loss.
In sessions she draws on several approaches to match a person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Client-Centered methods keep the conversation focused on each person’s goals and perspective.
Maida also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel unsure where to start. She describes her style as enthusiastic, patient, and compassionate, aiming to create a calm, levelheaded space for problem solving. Sessions concentrate on practical steps alongside chances to reflect.
She offers services in English and Spanish and practices in California as an LMFT. If someone is considering therapy, she invites them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment to see how the work might fit their life.
