It's Okay If You're Not Sure Where to Start.

For many people, the hardest part of therapy is simply making the first appointment.

You might not know exactly what's wrong. You may just know that you've been carrying more than you want to carry on your own. Maybe you've been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted. Maybe you're supporting everyone else and haven't had space to check in with yourself.

You don't need to have the perfect explanation before you come in.

You don't even have to know what you want to work on yet.

My role is to help you sort through it, one conversation at a time, in a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely heard.

I'm Maheen Maiya, a Graduate Student Clinician providing therapy in our Katy and Richmond offices. I work with children, teens, and adults, and I believe some of the most meaningful healing begins when people finally feel comfortable enough to be themselves.

A Space Where You Can Simply Be Human

One of the beliefs that continues to guide my work comes from Maya Angelou:

"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

That's the kind of experience I hope every client has in therapy.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, obsessive thoughts, or a major life transition, my goal is to create a space where you feel accepted, not judged.

I believe healing begins with genuine connection. When people feel emotionally safe, they're more willing to explore difficult experiences, discover new perspectives, and begin creating meaningful change.

The Clients I Enjoy Working With

I work with children, teens, and adults from a variety of backgrounds and especially enjoy supporting people who are looking for a therapist that feels approachable, compassionate, and collaborative.

My clinical interests include:

• Anxiety
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Depression
• Grief and loss
• Trauma
• Personality disorders
• Life transitions
• Emotional regulation

I'm also passionate about working with minorities and underserved communities, recognizing that every person's experiences, culture, and story deserve to be understood with curiosity and respect.

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

No two people experience life the same way, so I don't believe therapy should follow the exact same path for everyone.

I tailor each session to your individual needs while drawing from evidence-based approaches including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Parent Management Training and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PMT-PCIT)

Together, we'll work toward understanding what's contributing to your current challenges, building healthy coping strategies, and helping you move toward the life you want to create.

More Than a Therapist

Outside of counseling, creativity has always been an important part of my life.

I love reading, painting, drawing, and finding new ways to express creativity.

I've found that art has a unique way of helping people express emotions that sometimes feel difficult to put into words. That appreciation naturally carries into my work, especially with children and teens who may communicate in ways beyond conversation.

Whether through creativity, curiosity, or simply having someone who listens without judgment, I believe healing can begin in many different ways.
