Maria Becchere

I am a licensed mental health counselor with over ten years of clinical experience. In my practice, I work with adults and couples of diverse backgrounds. I am a sex-positive therapist and familiar with LGBTQA issues. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, cultural and immigration difficulties, identity issues as well as relational difficulties and conflicts. Currently, I’m accepting new clients in the Suffern’s office, at Live to Thrive Counseling. I see therapy as that non-judgmental space where we can safely explore your experience identifying barriers and new ways to overcome them and find together new meanings creating self-awareness and acceptance which will reinforce strengths and relational resourcefulness. I can help you find the freedom to make healthier and effective decisions and choices. Maintaining an intersectional framework, that considers the impact of race, culture, class, and gender, I integrate insight-oriented and systemic-relational approaches to conceptualize and understand my client’s experience.
