About Me
Warm, collaborative
therapy that works
Hi, I'm Dr. Maya Reynolds. As a licensed psychologist based in Santa Monica, I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, burnout, and perfectionism. My approach is grounded in evidence-based methods while honoring your unique story.
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, mindfulness practices, and body-based techniques to create a personalized path toward healing. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a true partnership—one where you feel safe, seen, and supported every step of the way.
Whether you're struggling with overwhelming worry, processing difficult experiences, or simply feeling exhausted by the pressure to be perfect, I'm here to help you find relief and build a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.
