Who We Are
Therapy is a space to slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and reconnect with yourself.
At Willow & Tide, we believe meaningful therapy starts with feeling understood. Our approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs, so you can move through life's challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
OUR APPROACH

MEET YOUR THERAPIST
Hi, I’m Dr. Maya Bennett
PSYCHOLOGIST, PSYD
I’m passionate about helping people navigate anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the experiences that shape how we see ourselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with feeling understood.
When I’m not in session, you can find me spending time outdoors, reading, practicing yoga, or enjoying time with family and friends.
