About Lifespan Wellness MFT
Hello! Welcome to Lifespan Wellness Marriage & Family Therapy!
MARIA CONSTANTINOU
Hello! I’m very happy to meet you!
The name “Lifespan Wellness” honors the complex journey we take as we grow along the stages of childhood and mature through adulthood, and the interrelationship between our physical and psychological functioning.
In preparation for creating this place for you, I have consistently accumulated professional training across many therapeutic disciplines since 1991. I have received my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from New York University Rory Meyers College of Nursing, my Masters degrees from Fordham University in Counseling Psychology and Hofstra University in Marriage and Family Therapy, and my certification in Medical Family Therapy from Oklahoma Baptist University. I also received my Psychosocial Oncology Knowledge and Skills Certification from the American Psychosocial Oncology Society.
I begin each therapeutic connection with getting to know you and the 8 dimensions of your life. Together we will conceptualize your life through a biopsychosocial (physical, genetic, psychological, spiritual, and social connections) lens and how these elements interact with each other and affect your overall wellbeing. I use a personal style that blends humor, creativity, sensitivity, sensibility, and evidence-based strategies to help you grow in your areas of life and relationships and achieve your identified goals.
