Dr. Mariya Petrova, Mental Health Counselor - Miami Beach, Florida

I have been seeing Mariya for the past three years and she has been a guiding light! I have gone through so many major life changes, divorce, business ordeals, personal problems, family trauma, medical issues, financial worries - and she has been there to see me through it all with positivity in a professional and caring way. Life is filled with ups and downs that cause major anxiety but when I know I have my appointment with her somehow everything seems much easier. She is empowering and smart, but her genuine care for her clients is what really connects the mind to making positive changes. I always come out of a session feeling stronger, clearer and happier. I really can say Mariya is the best therapist I have ever seen and I would never live without her. Mental health is so important and therapy is vital to becoming a better version of yourself. She has helped me flourish and thrive and turn into the best version of myself that I ever imagined. HIGHLY recommend her!

Mariya is an exceptional therapist and a wonderful friend. I came to Mariya after realizing that old experiences and negative relationships I had been through were affecting me in my day-to-day. Mariya has helped me get to the root of my triggers, accept and love myself while identifying them, and learn to live in the most unapologetic and positive way possible. While my sessions with her have become less frequent as I have regained balance in my life, Mariya consistently remains a source of calm, comfort and clarity in my life. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a gifted, compassionate and down-to-earth source of guidance!

My experience with Mariya has been wonderful. She is always warm, welcoming and insightful. She gives sound advice and has helped me gain new perspectives on challenging situations for over a year now. I’ve grown so much as a young adult with Mariya’s help. I truly see a huge difference in my life and how I show up in this world. She is amazing.

My experience with Mariya nothing but positive. From our first meeting, her warm and nurturing energy assured me that I had come to the right place.

She helped guide me through a transitional time in my life where I felt stuck and in a loop of inaction due to past trauma which manifested itself into depression and anxiety.

Practically, she helped me create a new structure, routine and plan when I was frozen by the effects of living in survival.

But most importantly, she listened and guided me through the current events of my life; and gave me a safe and useful space to put attention and intention to my personal development and mental health.

Also, appreciate that Mariya is continually seeking growth on her own journey, whether personally or professionally.

So happy I made the decision to get into therapy. Thankful Mariya was my first experience; and grateful for the place she has helped get me to.

I had the blessing of meeting Mariya during one of the most difficult points of my young adulthood where I felt like I should’ve given up.
Mariya instantly became like an older sister in my eyes, she handled my initial session with me and my then boyfriend with grace, class, and no judgement. She only wanted to help and make sure we both got to the ultimate potential we had within ourselves and each other.
My boyfriend and mine relationship ended but Mariya took me on for solo sessions and I am SO happy I did!
She was always a call away for support or guidance, and never once made me feel like I was not fully developing into my psychological mind and learning more about myself with every session I had with her.

Mariya was truly an inspiration to me and my life, and I know if I ever need her she would always be there! I highly recommend her! ☺️

I have been working with Mariya for over a year now and can honestly say she has made a significant impact in my life. She challenges me to consistently improve small habits in my daily life (free of any judgement) that have led to major changes overtime. By working with her, I have been able to better understand myself, remain mindful and aware during pivotal moments and therefore, make choices that reflect my most authentic self. Thanks to her support and faith in me I have been able to develop and evolve as a person. She inspires me to live in a state of flow that brings to light the peace, love and confidence we can all reach within.

Mariya is sharp, she is incredibly intelligent and committed. Her approach is very straight-forward yet compassionate, she masterfully guides you to sift through surface noise and arrive at the core of matters. I highly recommend her work, she is ethical, responsive, professional and caring. Mental health is still very stigmatized, however, having a therapist will help shift your patterns and keep you accountable. She has scheduling flexibility and is able to conduct sessions via phone, which is appreciated. I look forward to my sessions and I always leave with clarity and perspective.
