Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Dr. Maya Reynolds, PsyD
PsyD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist based in Santa Monica, California, specializing in therapy for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and burnout. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives who appear successful on the outside but feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck internally.
You might be dealing with constant worry, difficulty sleeping, or a sense that you're always bracing for what's next. Perhaps past experiences continue to affect your relationships, confidence, or sense of safety. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what's happening beneath the surface, and develop sustainable ways of living and working.
I take a warm, collaborative, and grounded approach. Sessions integrate evidence-based methods like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, mindfulness practices, and body-oriented techniques—helping you address both the emotional and physiological sides of what you're experiencing.
My goal isn't just symptom relief. It's helping you develop insight, resilience, and a stronger relationship with yourself over time.

Areas of Focus
Evidence-based therapy tailored to your unique needs
Anxiety & Panic Therapy
Many clients come to me feeling functional on the outside while quietly struggling with constant worry, tension, or panic. Using CBT and mindfulness-based approaches, we work together to help you understand your anxiety patterns, manage physical symptoms, and regain a sense of calm and control in your daily life.
Trauma-Focused Therapy (EMDR)
Trauma work is central to my practice. Whether you've experienced a single incident or long-standing patterns from childhood, relationships, or chronic stress, I use EMDR and other trauma-informed methods to help you process difficult experiences safely. The focus is on stabilization, regulation, and healing—not just in session, but in your everyday life.
Burnout & Perfectionism Support
I frequently work with professionals who feel disconnected from themselves after years of pushing through stress. If you're dealing with exhaustion, perfectionism, or high internal pressure, therapy can help you reconnect, set boundaries, and develop healthier patterns—without sacrificing what matters to you.
