Providing Holistic, Psychodynamic and Integrative Therapeutic Counseling Services for Individuals, Couples & Families
My name is Maria Meidanis.
I am the founder and owner of Still Motion Therapeutic Services LLC. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Registered Yoga Teacher and Reiki Master. If only I knew then what I know now about the mind-body connection; the integration of breathe, the power of intuition and the transformation that comes with stillness. I know what it feels like to want to crawl out of my own skin, to look in the rear-view mirror and to rush through miscellaneous tasks without real purpose. I am talking about the difference between living and existing. The difference between doing and being. You are not alone —- but you can’t do this by yourself because if you could, you would have by now. I want to help you work through the resistance and fear that is detracting you from being your best self and preventing you from reaching your highest potential. I am here to assist you in overcoming past hurts relative to impulsive addictive behaviors, trauma, eating disorders and relational conflict— to hone into your internal intelligence and create dynamic change. Begin again. Join me in going ‘beyond the couch’ (AKA traditional talk therapy). I invite you to embark on the journey of self transformation.
About the process...
Individual Counseling
Individual Therapy is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained therapist—to explore their feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.
People seek therapy for a wide variety of reasons, from coping with major life challenges or childhood trauma, to dealing with depression or anxiety, to simply desiring personal growth and greater self-knowledge. A client and therapist may work together for as few as five or six sessions or as long as several years, depending on the client’s unique needs and personal goals for therapy.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling, also called couples therapy, is a type of psychotherapy. Couples counseling helps couples of all types recognize and resolve conflicts and improve their relationships. Through couples counseling, you can make thoughtful decisions about rebuilding and strengthening your relationship or going your separate ways.
Couples counseling is typically short-term depending on treatment goals and objectives.
Common Issues include but are not limited to:
Sexual difficulties

Conflicts regarding child rearing and/or blending families
