Maria McLean

Welcome, my name is Maria McLean, and I am the owner of Corner Booth Counseling Services. I work with adults and motivated teens in Sarasota County and throughout Florida who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem, and other life challenges and seek to find peace and understanding with themselves. These challenges may manifest as chronic worry, low self-confidence, difficulty in relationships, emotional eating or spending, shame, irritability, and low mood. I provide treatment that is both effective and empowering utilizing compassion and humor along with EMDR, CBT, and other evidence based therapeutic interventions to help heal your suffering and regain control.

I believe your life is significant with remarkable worth. I have a client-centered, supportive, and empathetic approach to therapy. During treatment we will work collaboratively to reach your personal goals. I am passionate about helping clients develop new coping skills, strengthen boundaries, gain self-value, and find a more authentic and joyful life.

Corner Booth Counseling came from the idea of pushing the boundaries of therapy beyond the therapeutic couch. Providing nature based, walking psychotherapy. If weather is not permitting, we could meet in the corner booth at a local coffee shop, at my office, or virtual. The possibilities are endless.
