Awaken Consulting Services

"I consulted with Mariya for my Brainspotting certification and can not speak highly enough of her services as a clinician, educator, mentor, and human. I’ve also supported with some of her Brainspotting trainings, and recently attended her Ketamine Assisted Therapy retreat. She has a gift for cultivating spaces that feel communal and allow for true connection amidst those attending. It is clear she really cares about the people she comes into contact with and is passionate about supporting folx in lasting changes in their lives, both personally and professionally. Highly recommend anything Awakened Consulting Services is part of."

"Mariya is an amazing human, clinician and consultant! She has an authentic, gentle demeanor and skillfully navigates and attunes to others with a wide range of needs. She also embodies inclusive practices that demonstrate her great humility. I am so grateful for her!"

"I took Brainspotting Phase 1 and 2 as well as used Mariya for the consulting portion of certification. From the first moment of meeting her warmth and compassion for other humans and the work she does was evident. As a AuDHD person she took time to work with me and find what was most of supportive and accommodating to make the certification process easier. It was evident that she is very aware and actively worked with a harm reduction, all-inclusive lens. I recently participated in her KAP Retreat. Once again, she was very warm, supportive and very knowledgeable. Her general presents were not only welcoming, judgement free, but truly build a sense of deep care and safety for all. I highly recommend Mariya as a trainer but also a therapist. She is meant to do this work and it shows in her care of others."

"My first encounter with Mariya was during phase one of a brain-spotting training. As a therapist of color, I was hoping to find a fellow POC person to learn from, and what I found in Mariya was far beyond what I could’ve expected. Mariya’s continued ability to be authentic and human did not waver throughout the entire training. For the first time in a professional development space, I felt seen. As I am writing this, I am realizing the profound impact that Mariya has had on my development both professionally and personally. She is an incredibly intelligent, genuine, kind, funny, and humble person and she has made a lasting impact on my life. If you are considering working with her, DO IT. She will leave a lasting impression (or she might just change your life!)"

"I completed Phase 1 and 2 of Brainspotting training with Mariya and it was such a beautiful and life changing experience. Mariya has such a special and unique gift in her ability to attune to others and demonstrate so effortlessly how to guide individuals through an impactful brainspotting experience. I highly recommend Mariya as both a practitioner as well as a trainer. Within minutes, you will feel like you are talking to a close friend that you’ve known your entire life. I feel confident in my ability to bring her teachings to those I work with and I am eternally grateful to have learned this method from such a kind and caring individual."
