Our Team

María Serrano, AMFT

She | Her | Ella
I am currently accepting clients and have immediate availability for online therapy.

As a Latine, bilingual, queer woman and psychotherapist based in Los Angeles, I draw from my roots in the borderlands of the Sonoran Desert. I believe people in all bodies deserve healing, that it is most powerful when it centers our cultural experiences.

My clients are youth of all ages, adults, and couples/relationships. Clients would describe working with me as warm and collaborative. In session, I strive to balance building safety together with gently challenging my clients to grow beyond former limitations. Humor is a vital part of both my life and practice, infusing warmth and ease into our work together. I weave together somatic and mindfulness practices influenced by indigenous and Buddhist traditions. My aim is to help my clients access their true selves and forge deeper connections with others while navigating life's changes.

Building on my prior work in disordered eating recovery, I understand the challenges of feeling at home in your body for various reasons. I believe that health is a dynamic spectrum, unique to each of us and shaped by various factors over time. It's not merely an endpoint but a resource accessible to everyone, irrespective of health conditions or abilities.

I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation if you would like to explore working together.
