Maria Cutler

Maria Cutler

Therapist

Virtual & in-person

232 West Main Street, Tustin, CA

I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a space where you can explore what’s happening with honesty and compassion.

I draw from evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and psychodynamic insights, while always tailoring my approach to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll work to uncover patterns, build insight, and develop practical strategies that help you move toward clarity and meaningful change.

Clients often describe me as calm, supportive, and direct in a kind way. I value humor when it’s helpful, and I work to foster a relationship where you feel safe enough to be real—even when it’s hard.

Reaching out takes courage, and finding the right fit is key. If you're looking for someone who will listen deeply, challenge gently, and walk alongside you at your pace, I’d be honored to work with you.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. My approach combines somatic interventions with evidence-based cognitive methods to process stored stress, address root causes, and restore emotional regulation. Having worked extensively in dual-diagnosis settings and private practice, I understand how deeply unaddressed trauma drives secondary coping behaviors.

Therapist

Virtual • California


You’re doing your best, and yet things aren’t landing the way you hoped. You put in the effort and care deeply, but something feels off, like your intentions don’t translate into the outcomes you want. You might find yourself asking, “What am I missing?” That gap can feel frustrating, confusing, and isolating. I work with clients who often feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to show up as their full, authentic selves. Many are navigating chronic or invisible illness, neurodivergence, emotional regulation challenges, identity shifts, relationship stress, or difficulties at work or school.
