Introduction / About

A Thoughtful, Grounded Approach to Therapy

I’m Dr. Maya Reynolds, a licensed clinical psychologist in Santa Monica, California. I work with adults who may look capable and functional on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or constantly on edge.

Therapy can offer a space to slow down, understand what you’re experiencing, and begin moving toward meaningful change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded, combining practical tools with deeper therapeutic work.

About Dr. Maya Reynolds

My work is centered on helping thoughtful, self-aware adults who may be struggling with anxiety, panic, trauma, burnout, or the pressure to keep everything together.

I believe therapy works best when you feel respected, understood, and actively involved in the process. My goal is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to help you develop greater insight, resilience, and a stronger relationship with yourself.

Therapy can be a space to slow down, reconnect, and create meaningful change.
