About MAIDA
MAIDA FERRAES is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self esteem struggles. She also supports those coping with ADHD, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and major life changes. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people feel steadier day to day.
She has worked in counseling since 2017 in a mix of individual and group settings. That experience includes outpatient and residential programs and work with people facing trauma, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and substance use challenges. Her background means she brings a broad view to the issues people bring into therapy.
Her style is warm and energetic while staying steady and patient. She emphasizes understanding each person’s situation and tailoring the work to what actually helps. Sessions focus on real-life skills and small changes that add up over time.
Maida draws from several common therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, client-centered ideas, and mindfulness tools. Those tools are used to help manage mood, build coping strategies, and improve communication and relationships.
She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults on a range of concerns from career stress to compassion fatigue. People who want a practical, down-to-earth approach often find her style approachable and useful.
