About Jardín Wellness
Jardín Wellness is a therapeutic practice focused on healing in connection to others. As we slow down and address the concerns bringing you to therapy, we will explore the patterns and cycles you feel stuck in to find new ways of being in relationship with the world around you.
Jardín Wellness currently offers in-person sessions in Georgetown and virtual sessions to those in Washington state. Jardín Wellness is based out of Seattle, WA on unceded, ancestral Duwamish land and the land of the Coast Salish.
Why jardín? Jardín (hahr-deen) is the Spanish word for garden. As a therapist, jardínes and nature have always been a place where I find beautiful metaphors and reflections of our experiences. As a child, my sense of awe, wonder, and magic were nurtured in jardínes. In our therapeutic work together, we will create a jardín; a garden that we will cultivate in partnership, finding meaning in the seasons, natural cycles, and experiences of your life.
About Mayra
Hola, I’m Mayra (she/her/ella), a couple and family therapist and founder of Jardín Wellness, a safe and healing space for slowing down. I was born and raised in Southern California, the eldest daughter of two Mexican immigrants. I moved to Seattle in my mid-twenties, only a few months prior to the start of the 2020 pandemic. The pandemic shifted a lot for many, and certainly tilted our world on its axis. For me, it prompted a career change; I left my recruiting job in tech and pursued becoming a therapist.
As I began my education and training in 2021, I also became familiar with the Pacific Northwest. The seasonal patterns in the PNW helped me make sense of how often we experience change. My work as a relational therapist has evolved from my appreciation of nature. Be it in the fiery fall foliage, the barrenness of winter, the abundance of spring, or the promise of summer—and how beautiful, that each season relates to another. As a therapist, I understand that we not only live in connection to one another but to our heritage and experiences. In my work with clients, relationships of all forms are centered.
In my free time, I can often be found in a garden, spending time with my loved ones, or reading.
My Approach
My approach and philosophy to therapy is client-centered, understanding the importance of the therapeutic relationship in achieving change. Values that inform my practice include compassion, authenticity, curiosity, and accountability. I often integrate attachment theory, emotion focused therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, and systems theory. Our work is tailored to best meet your needs and will integrate cultural traditions and values that are important to you.
