About Mayra Vega
Her counseling style is client-centered and strengths-based, with a focus on cultural sensitivity. She aims to create a non-judgmental, supportive, and interactive environment where treatment goals are shaped by each individual's needs. Mayra adapts therapeutic work to fit the person in front of her rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
Her clinical approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques, humanistic principles, and rational-emotive behavior therapy to help clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and pursue meaningful change. She works collaboratively with clients to set and refine goals, always treating people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion without stigmatizing labels.
Mayra is transparent about the limits of her training and does not have specific training in the areas of OCD, Autism, sexual dysfunctions, Borderline Personality Disorder, or neurocognitive disorders. Seeking help requires strength and courage, and she acknowledges the importance of that first step toward change and personal growth.
