Maura Furness is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual psychotherapy services to clients in the state of California.
Maura has a background in treating adults, teens and young adults in private practice and academic institutional settings. She utilizes a holistic therapeutic approach that incorporates practical skill building and self resourcing in combination with a depth psychology and somatic systems frame work.
Maura's style of therapy is focused on consent and building a trusting relationship with clients. In the first few sessions clients can expect to work together with Maura to understand why they are coming to therapy, what they want to change and goals they would like to achieve. Through sessions with Maura, clients have reported a greater self awareness of their triggers, an increased confidence in addressing their own needs and a deeper sense of meaning in their lives.
Maura is passionate about supporting clients to have greater self compassion and wholeness which can impact their relationships, families and greater communities.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, Maura worked in public schools with youth and the nonprofit sector in organizations focused on social justice and community empowerment.
