Therapy that looks beyond the symptom.
ABOUT DR. MARIYA GYOREV, PSYD
I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, emotional exhaustion, self-worth, relationships, attachment, boundaries, over-responsibility, or a sense of being disconnected from what they actually need or want.
Some people come to therapy with a clear understanding of what is wrong. Others simply know that something is not working anymore.
You may find yourself overthinking, questioning your decisions, trying not to disappoint people, taking responsibility for too much, struggling to trust yourself in relationships, or repeating patterns you understand intellectually but still cannot seem to change.
You do not need to fit a particular type of person to work with me.

Who I Work With
Some people come to therapy with a clear understanding of what is wrong. Others simply know that something is not working anymore.
You may find yourself overthinking, questioning your decisions, trying not to disappoint people, taking responsibility for too much, struggling to trust yourself in relationships, or repeating patterns you understand intellectually but still cannot seem to change.
I often work with adults navigating:
Anxiety and overthinking
Emotional exhaustion
Relationship and attachment patterns
Low self-worth
People-pleasing and over-responsibility
Difficulty with boundaries
Difficulty knowing what you actually want or need
Recurring patterns that insight alone has not changed
You do not need to fit a particular type of person to work with me.
Who I Often Work With
You may recognize yourself in some of these experiences:
You think about things repeatedly but still do not feel resolved.
You have difficulty trusting your own decisions.
You worry about disappointing people or being misunderstood.
You take responsibility for other people's feelings.
You have trouble setting boundaries without guilt.
You lose yourself in relationships or become unsure of what you actually want.
Your self-worth becomes tied to achievement, approval, productivity, or being needed.
You feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected.
You understand many of your patterns but continue repeating them.
You want to respond differently but are not sure how.
You do not need to identify with everything on this list. Therapy begins with your individual experience.
How I Work
My approach is active, collaborative, and individualized.
I listen carefully, but I also ask questions, notice patterns, make connections, and help you slow down around experiences that may be difficult to understand when you are caught inside them.
We may look at thoughts, emotions, relationships, behavior, earlier experiences, physical responses, protective strategies, needs, boundaries, and the difference between what you feel you should do and what you actually want.
My work may draw from relational, attachment-focused, cognitive, emotion-focused, trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-oriented approaches depending on your needs and treatment goals.
The goal is not to use as many techniques as possible. The goal is to understand what is keeping the problem going and choose the work accordingly.
About My Approach
My path into psychology grew out of a longstanding interest in how people adapt to their environments and relationships. Over time, this developed into a clinical focus on how patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating are shaped—and how they can change.
In my work, I aim to balance depth and practicality. That means paying attention to the meaning of your experiences while also asking what might help you respond differently in your current life.

Wondering whether we might be a good fit?
Start with a complimentary 15-minute consultation. We can briefly discuss what you are looking for, whether my approach seems appropriate, and what beginning therapy might look like.
You do not need to know whether I am the right therapist before you schedule. That is what the consultation is for.
