Maritza Ejenbaum continues to provide unbiased expertise to me. I worked with her for 9 months. During the initial stages of my divorce. I took a break from therapy as divorce proceedings were stabilized. . I resumed working with Maritza later for support during a family crisis. Her support has been invaluable. I highly recommend Maritza to anyone who needs expert, unbiased support through hardships and who supports growth and keeping healthy boundaries with others, even family members, who you love. Cheers! Bravo Maritza!
More about Maritza
- 31 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker/licensed psychotherapist with 31 years of experience. During the course of my career I have worked to help individuals clients address issues that are standing in the way of them becoming a better version of themselves. I am licensed in the states of Florida and North Carolina. My experience as a psychotherapist has been with people of all ages, a broad range of issues and diverse cultural, ethnic, sexual orientation and spiritual backgrounds. My areas of focus are: helping the individual manage their response to stress in a healthier manner so the stress does not manage the individual, providing education and skills to cope more effectively with anxiety and/or depression, dealing with addictive behaviors, relationship issues, increasing personal empowerment over the consequences of trauma and abuse, developing an understanding of the impact of early life experiences on personal development and impact in present day situations, and improving self esteem/self confidence and self worth.
The principles that guide my work as a psychotherapist are as follow:
1) Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, dignity and compassion.
2) Seeking therapy is one of he most courageous, empowering, and healing choices one can make.
3) Helping the individual to understand, heal, and overcome negative life experiences from the past,
4) It is the therapist's responsibility to earn the individual's trust during the course of the therapeutic relationship.
5) Mutual respect and collaboration between the therapist and the individual seeking therapy make it possible for positive change to happen.
6) When it comes to the therapy approach, "One size does not fit all." There is no one specific approach that is effective for everyone. Therapy is tailored to meet each person's unique style to enhance the likelihood of positive results.
Congratulations on taking this very brave and important first step on the road to a better you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Maritza helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life. My mental health has improved immensely since working with her. She is practical and seems to tailor her approach to the individual she's working with. Maritza is a rockstar and I wish I had met her sooner. I'd recommend her to anyone in need of therapy.
She is the most wonderful, compassionate person. She has helped me so much navigate through my issues and helped me get perspective. I adore her and am so very grateful for her
Perfect!
I had one visit with the therapist and it was very helpful. I even felt good right after my session. Will definitely plan to do a follow up.
Highly recommend. Only two sessions in as of writing this but she is considerate, empathetic and understanding. However, she will also be forthright in her observations and not sugar coat things in order to help you heal and power through your problems.
Doctor Maritza allows and creates a safe space for emotional vulnerability. I am for the first time undertaking and saying out laud and dealing with my abuse. Dr Martiza has helped me identify how simple things like thoughtless laughter can be a double sided cook given a situation, and learning how I am denying myself to openly feel. I am undertaking the journey to protect myself and I am so thankful for having Dr.Maritza suggestions and tools to continue to progress and build on this journey. You are not alone, you are enough, you are worthy. May you be well in your journey.
I highly recommend the sage advice and professional guidance provided by Martiza,
Maritza Ejenbaum is the most intuitive, knowledgable, to the point therapist I've ever worked with. She sees through the "stuff" faster than any other professional I've worked with to date. She has helped me through a very difficult time and I'm ever grateful for her guidance and ear. When the feelings are so raw that you don't know what to do with them she is there to listen and respond with kindness, compassion, and healing tools. I'm so grateful for this platform and Maritza.
Maritza was helpful in the ways I needed for the time I needed it - she would get right down to it to make the best use of our time and listened with compassion and offered insight from both her professional knowledge as well as personal experience.
I stand by my previous review. Maritza continues to provide superior support and wisdom to help me to smoothly transition through a tough situation. Her expertise is finely refined and quickly gets to root causes of some issues. I value her expertise tremendously. She is a gem! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a sound partner to achieve your goals.
Maritza is great! Not only is she a great listener , but she use analogies that make sense to me. I thank her so much and can’t wait to keep learning how to cope with obstacles in my life.
Maritza is just who I need to talk to! Kind, attentive, sharp. Her analysis is very helpful. I’m looking forward to speaking with her more often.
My therapist is very helpful
She is great!!
I truly enjoy and look forward to my meeting with Maritza and find comfort in her word and explanation. I’m glad to have found her thru BH.
My therapist is thoughtful, knowledgeable, compassionate, and insightful. I’m truly grateful to have been paired with her. I only wish I would have tried this sooner.
Maritza is an amazing therapist and helped me more than I could’ve asked for. I would highly recommend her.
I can’t say enough good things about Maritza. Superb, Top notch. Extremely intelligent and skilled. Smart, kind and helpful. In my opinion, everyone would benefit from working with this lovely woman. What a joy she is to work with!!! I am so thankful for her words do not begin to describe how much she helps me. Maritza Ejenbaum is a gem! Thank you!!
Maritza has been very helpful. I've worked with a therapist long term and felt like I wasn't getting objective advice anymore. I had certain, specific events I wanted to work through from long ago. Maritza was able to provide poignant, practical advice. I felt like I got more valuable feedback in 4 weeks than I have in several years. I am grateful to Maritza and the support she gave. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
Maritza is a great listener, a fantastic counselor, and an exceptionally experienced professional! She gave me the confidence to understand my current marital environment and take action to improve my self-confidence and mental peace. I appreciate her support!
Mrs. Ejenbaum is very compassionate to provide professional help to people like me who are looking for help. She is welcoming which makes it very easy for me to open up to her and share my thoughts. She has made my journey very convenient by trying her best to understand my feelings. She has great and flexible recommendations. I would recommend her to all my friends and fellow loved ones who are willing to seek help. Thank you Mrs. Ejenbaum for your great services. I really appreciate you in my life
