Maria Brachelli-Pigeon
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist -
Our lives are defined by our relationships. However, maintaining and nourishing these relationships can be a challenge. My goal as a therapist is to help families, individuals, and couples seeking to rejuvenate and rebuild relationships at all stages, whether you’re experiencing marital difficulties, tensions with parenting, or managing relationships with elderly parents or children who have moved out of the house. In therapy sessions, I use a lighthearted touch and maintain a calm, safe environment that not only makes difficult moments tolerable but also encourages you to be reflective and self-aware.I challenge my clients to shift from feeling stuck in their lives to moving and realizing their potential. I utilize numerous self-assessments and also creative/expressive means to determine your unique goals. Issues addressed in treatment may include, though aren’t exclusively: divorce, blended family issues, decreased intimacy in relationships, depression, anxiety, and trauma.I understand the strength it takes to seek therapeutic support for the struggles we encompass in relationships. That is why I am prepared to meet you at your comfort level to address your individual needs.
