Maria Tejada

Maria Tejada is currently completing her counseling internship at New Life 360, Inc., while finishing her studies at Liberty University. In her work with clients, she primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), drawn to these approaches because they give people practical tools to understand their thoughts, regulate their emotions, and move toward healthier patterns in their lives.

What inspires Maria to become a therapist is the privilege of walking with people through some of their most challenging moments and being part of their healing and growth. She is motivated by seeing clients realize their own strength, make meaningful changes, and feel truly supported. Knowing that she can help someone feel heard, valued, and empowered is what drives her every day as she grows in this field.
