About Me

Maria The Family Coach

Hey,
I’m Maria Arias!

Specializing in working with parents of intense young kids, Maria draws from 3 decades of nerding out on human development, relational dynamics, the power of family and spirituality and from helping 100's of families like yours.

The pandemic of 2020 took her work online and she found she possessed a strong skill set and a unique gift for connecting to young, sassy children AND their parents online!

The sessions transformed into Maria teaching parents the skills to deeply connect through PLAY and through that get to know their child better and become a stronger family!
Love Your Family Life!

From her humble beginnings as a teacher's assistant in a Montessori school to becoming a licensed professional counselor, Maria Arias has traveled an extraordinary journey. Her life experience is woven into her work, making her an expert in child development.

  • Intuitive
    Maria has been invaluable to our care team for our son. She has been insightful, and intuitive in her approach and relationship building with not only our son but with us, as the parents. She has provided numerous resources in addition to guiding us to necessary reading to help provide skill building in assertive parenting. I have recommended her to other parents in our community due to her expertise.

  • Boundaries
    Maria is amazing!
    Exactly what I was looking and hoping for. She gives direct answers and delivers it in a nonjudgmental way.
    ​I am a better parent and I have better boundaries in my life too, and I don’t feel bad about it! Quite the opposite! Maria will help you get through it and learn some tools to enjoy yourself too!

  • Perspective
    Maria brings a joyful and confident presence, offering concrete suggestions for gaining cooperation from children. She is a great listener, and works with specific issues that parents bring to the table. She is able to bring new perspective to the most intractable situations, and offer parents ideas for successful interventions.​
