Since 2017, we have been dedicated to serving and supporting women of color across the state, addressing the profound impact of trauma on their lives.
We understand that trauma of various kinds can have far-reaching effects, and we are here to provide a safe, compassionate, and empowering space for your healing journey. We are committed to addressing the unique challenges and experiences faced by women of color, recognizing the intersections of race, gender, and culture in the healing process.
At our practice, we believe in the power of personalized care. We take the time to listen, understand, and honor your individual experiences and needs. We utilize evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to your specific circumstances, providing you with the tools and support necessary to navigate and overcome the impact of trauma.
Our goal is simple: to create a healing environment where you can find solace, empowerment, and resilience. We want to strive to foster a sense of community and belonging within our practice.
Welcome! I’m Mautez, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LC8127) and Board-Approved Supervisor in the state of Maryland. I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults across both clinic and community-based settings. While I support clients with a variety of mental health concerns, my passion lies in helping Women of Color navigate trauma and life transitions with strength and resilience.
At Therapeutic Freedom, my goal is to make therapy feel relatable, authentic, and empowering. I believe that while each of our experiences is unique, the emotions we carry are deeply human—and healing begins when we feel truly seen and understood.
My approach is rooted in Choice Theory, which emphasizes the power of the decisions we make. Even in the aftermath of trauma, we hold the ability to shape our healing journey. As a Black woman therapist, I am committed to creating a safe and affirming space where you can explore, reclaim, and embrace your power—one day at a time.
Beyond the therapy room, I’m a mom, wife, sister, daughter, and friend. These roles bring me joy, laughter, and a reminder that connection and community are at the heart of everything I do.
I completed my graduate studies at Marymount University, in Arlington, VA, obtaining a Master of Art in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and my undergraduate studies at The Pennsylvania State University, in University Park, PA, obtaining my Bachelor of Art in Political Science with two minors in Women Studies and African American Studies.
I have serviced adults, children and their families in both clinic and community-based settings.
Other mental health concerns I have experience with include, but are not limited to:
Member of the American Counseling Association, American Psychological Association and Maryland Counseling Association. Additionally, I am a proud and active member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated.
