You don't have to navigate this alone.
Many of the people I work with are high-achieving, thoughtful, and self-aware—but internally feel exhausted, stuck in overthinking, or emotionally on edge. You may feel "functional" on the outside while quietly struggling with constant worry, tension in your body, difficulty sleeping, or a sense that you're always bracing for something to go wrong.
Therapy can become a space to slow down, reconnect, and develop more sustainable ways of living and working.

My Specialties
Anxiety & Panic
If you're feeling constantly worried, emotionally on edge, or experiencing panic, I can help. We'll work together to understand both the emotional and physiological sides of what you're experiencing, using evidence-based methods to help you feel more regulated.
Trauma
I work with adults who have experienced single-incident trauma as well as more complex, long-standing patterns. My approach is paced carefully, with an emphasis on safety, stabilization, and helping you feel more regulated in your daily life.
Burnout & Perfectionism
Many high-achieving professionals feel disconnected from themselves after years of pushing through stress. Therapy can become a space to slow down, reconnect, and develop more sustainable ways of living and working.
You don't have to do this all alone.
My work often focuses on:
- •Anxiety, panic, and constant worry
- •Trauma and the lingering effects of past experiences
- •Professional burnout and perfectionism
- •Feeling disconnected after years of pushing through stress
- •High internal pressure and difficulty slowing down
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 you develop insight, resilience, and a stronger relationship with yourself over time.
WORK WITH ME →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. Many of the people I work with are high-achieving, thoughtful, and self-aware—but internally feel exhausted, stuck in overthinking, or emotionally on edge.
I take a warm, collaborative, and grounded approach to therapy. Sessions are structured enough to feel supportive, while still leaving space for reflection and depth. I integrate evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, mindfulness-based practices, and body-oriented techniques.
