Reclaim Your Peace From Within
Expert therapy for anxiety, trauma, and burnout in Santa Monica, California.
You're Functional on the Outside, But Struggling Within
Many of my clients are high-achieving, thoughtful, and self-aware—but internally feel exhausted, stuck in overthinking, or emotionally on edge. You might appear "functional" while quietly struggling with constant worry, tension in your body, or a sense that you're always bracing for something to go wrong.
I help adults navigate anxiety, panic, trauma, and burnout using a warm, collaborative approach. Together, we'll work to help you understand both the emotional and physiological sides of what you're experiencing, and develop more sustainable ways of living and working.

Hi, I'm Dr. Maya Reynolds
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist based in Santa Monica, California, offering therapy for adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or the lingering effects of past experiences.
My work focuses on anxiety, panic, trauma, and burnout. I take a warm, collaborative, and grounded approach, integrating evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, mindfulness-based practices, and body-oriented techniques.
Trauma work is an important part of my practice. I work with adults who have experienced single-incident trauma as well as more complex, long-standing patterns that may stem from childhood, relationships, or chronic stress. My approach is paced carefully, with an emphasis on safety, stabilization, and helping clients feel more regulated in their daily lives.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel respected, understood, and actively involved in the process. My goal is not just symptom relief, but helping clients develop insight, resilience, and a stronger relationship with themselves over time.
