Maria Wickersham
She/Her
Maria
is a therapist at Two Chairs.
I work with clients navigating trauma rooted in family dynamics, relationships, and societal pressures that disconnect them from their authentic selves. In our sessions, we explore the deeper layers—uncovering patterns, beliefs, and emotional wounds. Together, we create a grounded path toward healing that brings more clarity, connection, and self-trust.
In her spare time, Maria enjoys taking her Samoyed to the beach, spending time with close friends and family, or creating an at home spa day and movie night with charcuterie. She enjoys bowling, mini golf, and doing nothing at home--ha!
