Adult therapy · Santa Monica & California telehealth
I'm Dr. Maya Reynolds, PsyD, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I offer adults a warm, collaborative space to understand what they're carrying, in person in Santa Monica or through secure telehealth across California.
When keeping up takes everything
You may be getting through the day, meeting expectations, and looking like you have it together.
Inside, worry keeps circling.
Your body feels tense, rest is difficult, or the pressure to keep going leaves you exhausted.
I work with adults who know this experience, including professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives. Therapy offers room to slow down, understand the patterns beneath the pressure, and explore more sustainable ways of living and working.
My work focuses on three experiences that often travel together: anxiety and panic, trauma, and burnout with perfectionism.
01
Constant worry, overthinking, or panic can make it hard to feel at ease, even when life looks manageable from the outside. You might notice physical tension, difficulty sleeping, or a sense of being on edge. Together, we'll explore those patterns and bring practical tools to the emotional and physical experience of anxiety.

A single event or longstanding experiences can continue to affect your relationships, confidence, and sense of safety. I work with both single-incident and more complex trauma, including experiences rooted in childhood, relationships, or chronic stress. Our work is carefully paced, with safety and stabilization guiding the process and room for your experience throughout.

Years of pushing through stress can leave you exhausted, disconnected, and unsure what you need. For professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives, high internal standards can make slowing down especially difficult. Therapy offers space to explore the pressure to keep performing, reconnect with yourself, and develop more sustainable ways of living and working.

Sessions balance practical tools with reflection and depth, at a pace that makes room for you.
Naming what you're noticing can be a first step. Each concern leads to the support it relates to.
Meet your therapist
Warm, grounded, and collaborative.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and burnout, including thoughtful, capable people who feel stretched thin beneath the surface. We make room for what feels difficult today and the experiences that have shaped it.
Our sessions balance structure and practical tools with reflection and depth. I want you to feel respected, understood, and actively involved as we explore both the emotional and physical sides of your experience, at a pace that makes room for you.
Our office
A quiet, private setting with natural light, comfortable seating, and an uncluttered feel. My Santa Monica office offers space to settle in, slow down, and turn your attention to yourself.
We can meet here in person or through secure telehealth if you're located in California. Both formats make room for thoughtful, collaborative work.
Our work draws on four approaches, combined around what you need: cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, mindfulness-based practices, and body-oriented techniques.
You're an active participant in the process. These are the methods we may draw on together.
01
CBT brings attention to the patterns connecting thoughts, feelings, and everyday experience. We combine practical tools with reflection to explore how those patterns show up in your life.
02
I draw on EMDR within carefully paced trauma work. Safety and stabilization guide our process, with attention to your experience and how you feel both in sessions and in daily life.
03
Mindfulness offers room to notice your present experience. Alongside practical tools and deeper reflection, these practices bring attention to what you're feeling as we make space to slow down.
04
Stress is felt in the body as well as the mind. Body-oriented techniques help us attend to that physical experience, alongside your thoughts and emotions, within a supportive and collaborative process.
