Maria T. Arieta, Psy.D.

Welcome to my website. I hope you’ll find all the information here you need about me, my background and Juniper & Jade Psychotherapy Inc. I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and opened my private practice in 2010. I'd previously worked with clients of all ages in diverse settings and welcomed the opportunity to work with those I knew I could serve without the restrictions of providing care in other settings. After 14 years in independent practice and serving as an outside supervisor for psychology trainees I decided to expand my reach and transition to a group practice. Juniper & Jade Psychotherapy Inc. provides the highest quality mental health care to our clients and trains associate clinicians with a strong focus in skills to support individuals at all life stages and client's most important relationships.

It's an honor to help people when life is difficult and to help them emerge as better versions of themselves, more equipped to navigate any future challenges. Have worked with adults of all ages I appreciate the significance of early life experiences and strong family connections. 

Juniper and jade are plants that are resilient and strong. They grow even under less than ideal circumstances and even stronger when they are together. Like them I believe we all have the capacity to flourish and can do so more profoundly in the right circumstances and with the right relationships.

 Let's discuss how we can help you. A phone consultation is free of charge and requires no commitment. If our practice isn't the right fit we're happy to make referrals to other providers or community resources. We return all calls.
