My expertise is relationships. See, maureenehosier.com and maureenehosierphd.com.

I specialize in self esteem, anxiety and sports related mental health challenges.

My goal in therapy is to provide you with a nonjudgemental and empathetic space where you can find clarity, achieve your goals and create a more fulfilling life. I strive to give you agency in your wellness journey and make sure that you feel heard and connected in the therapeutic space.

My specialization is anxiety, depression, self esteem, shame and relationship issues.
Psychotherapy is essentially a collaborative process where the feedback between the therapist and the person is without any sense of judgement or agenda.Therapy is about what works from the perspective of each person's unique personal experience. It allows for a fluid perspective to be understood and worked through. I am an active participant, providing descriptions along with mutually agreed upon insights and interpretations. I believe that the essential process within oneself and in a therapeutic setting should always contain compassion, understanding, respect and empathy. The goal is to develop a positive relationship with oneself and with others.

Together we will confirm your strengths and explore paths to sustainable change. Helping people with high emotional sensitivity to develop improved self-perception and more effective coping skills by building on the person they are and not trying to reinvent them is essential.

I love working with teens and pre-teens. If you have tried everything you can think of to help your teen and they are still struggling, it’s not your fault. It doesn't mean defeat when you ask for help, it means you are smart and you know your child deserves better. Being a teenager is hard. There’s so much pressure from parents, coaches, friends, romantic interests, teachers, and an enormous amount of pressure they put on themselves. They want someone to talk to as they figure out who they are and who they want to be. It can be difficult to be vulnerable and friends often have well-meaning, but misguided advice.

Have you been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from others? Do you tend to self-doubt, or have previously been called a “people pleaser”? These problems are far too common when we experience difficulty with boundaries, and challenges with our self esteem. Are you ready to improve your connection with yourself and others?

I specialize in working with self esteem, anxiety, life transitions, and OCD.
Do you find yourself trying to make everyone around you happy, even if that means you go unseen? You worry people won’t like you if you don’t get everything just right and even still you never feel appreciated for everything you do. And when someone does recognize your efforts? You hide from the spotlight, protesting that it wasn’t a big deal anyway. Everytime you put the work in or try something new, that nagging voice says “not good enough, try harder”, so you stay in your comfort zone. Turns out, the comfort zone isn’t very comfortable. Other people say you seem so put together, but when you look around, all you see is failure.

If you are highly critical of yourself, have difficulty trusting in yourself, are facing a life transition, feel stuck in long-standing patterns of thinking or being, or you are experiencing relational issues, therapy may be a meaningful process for you to engage in. Anxiety, depression, and issues around self-esteem are painful experiences that many of us face. Often times, we get used to feeling these ways, or don't know what to do about them, or we believe what our self-critic tells us about ourselves, resulting in feelings of shame and a pressure to be different.

As a relational trauma therapist with experience working with self esteem, anxiety and depression issues; I believe our bodies carry the wisdom to help us heal.
Trauma leaves us feeling broken and disconnected from who we truly are. You may be fed up with feeling lonely, worthless, or even unlovable. You may not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for certain: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to begin understanding the root of these feelings. You’re ready to cultivate deeper self-trust and authenticity. Most of all, you’re ready to return home to yourself.

I'm curious about people: how our unique histories have shaped us, how we relate to each other & what motivates our behavior in relationships. I specialize in processing relationships with couples & individuals struggling with codependency, communication, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem & identity. We often get stuck in repetitive behavioral/thinking patterns that block us from living the lives we yearn for. We may feel misunderstood or disconnected in our relationships. We may avoid intimacy because we don’t want to get hurt again. We may have a harsh inner critic & lack self-love. Do you experience this in your life?

I imagine many of us can identify with what it is like to dismiss our painful emotions or tuck away our undesirable experiences. To carry the weight of depression, past trauma, or endure distressing anxious thoughts about the future. However your heart may ache, you have arrived here to what I would hope you can consider as an invitation. An invitation to enter a process of healing, empowerment, growth and becoming. I believe one of our greatest human needs is to be seen and understood. I hope that this process that we choose to begin can be an affirming and collaborative one in which we tend to your goals together.
