Dr. Maria S. Hiraldo | Licensed Psychologist

As a licensed psychologist I offer individual therapy to treat a range of presenting concerns, including relationship stress, life transitions, depression, anxiety, parentification and trauma. I use an approach based on openness and sincerity and aim to provide a comfortable and collaborative environment for my clients. My style is fluid and catered to best suit the concerns and subjective experience of the client. My approach borrows from psychodynamic theory, emotion-focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, sensorimotor psychotherapy and dialectical behavior therapy. I am an EMDR trained therapist. I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the George Washington University, completed my APA-approved internship at Harvard Medical School and fulfilled my post-doctoral fellowship at Tufts University. I have over 18 years of clinical experience. I was the Assistant Director of Counseling at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and a staff psychologist at Tufts University’s Counseling and Mental Health Services in Medford, Massachusetts. I have served as a clinician and researcher at UC San Diego Medical Center, at an Early Psychosis Treatment Center. Having immigrated from Argentina as a child, I'm bicultural and bilingual (English/Spanish). Licenses: MA 9398 | CA PSY27288
