Maya Hanelin is a wise and deeply compassionate IFS therapist. Her self awareness and finely tuned skills create a safe and non-judgmental space that invite potent healing. I trust her fully with my process and often consult with her for my creative projects as well.
I took Maya's webinar workshop and learned valuable self-investigation techniques that I still use two years later. Maya was kind, thoughtful and held space in a way that allowed us to do personal work in front of each other with a surprising level of trust and compassion.
Working with Maya has helped me become much more brave emotionally: she helped me to see that by welcoming sadness and other negative emotions, rather than trying (and failing) to force them out of my life, they did not have to overcome me, but could become part of a healthy, balanced, emotional experience. I have found strength and safety in Maya's gentle guidance in moments of grief as well as moments of joy; she has helped me to practice noticing both, slowing down, and finding manageable ways to embrace pausing and feeling in a world that is very fast-paced and, for me, very thinking-oriented. Maya reflects my experience back to me with great clarity; she listens attentively and has a long memory, through which she often reminds me of my own capacity and strength.
I have immense trust in Maya; I feel safe in her office. Working with Maya has given me a safe place to express, explore, and sit with all that is weird, challenging, and surprising in my emotional life.
My sessions with Maya Hanelin were life changing. I was struggling with trauma induced amnesia and Maya’s gentle yet firm approach created a safe container for me to revisit parts of my childhood that had been locked away. I especially found Maya’s use of Internal Family Systems to be an extremely helpful modality in my healing journey.
My partner and I are a lesbian couple and we reached out to Maya for help with our relationship. Maya is a talented therapist who makes us both feel seen, heard and understood. Our goal was to improve communication and she immediately gave us tools that we could use at home which have helped us. Maya treats each person fairly and helps to foster healthy and constructive dialogue while focusing on our unique and individual perspectives. Even during heated moments, Maya is cool and collected and navigates those tough areas for us effortlessly.
We are grateful that we found Maya because she has been so valuable to us in improving our relationship. We have had other therapists and were shocked that therapy could feel empowering with Maya. Maya has skill for a myriad of issues and circumstances. She has a natural gift for seeing through emotions and the training to back it up. We highly recommend Maya as a couples therapist.
