Maritza Ejenbaum, LCSW

Maritza Ejenbaum is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 36 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, addictions, mood concerns, and life transitions. She works with adults across the lifespan and with diverse cultural, ethnic, sexual orientation, and spiritual backgrounds, bringing a broad clinical perspective to each case. Maritza explains that a LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health conditions and to support clients in building practical coping skills and healthier patterns.

Her practice emphasizes empowering individuals to manage stress more effectively so it does not dictate daily life, to develop skills for coping with anxiety and depression, and to address addictive behaviors and intimacy-related issues. She also assists clients in processing trauma and abuse, understanding how early life experiences shape current relationships and behavior, and strengthening self-esteem and confidence. Maritza integrates evidence-informed methods tailored to each person rather than applying one uniform approach.

The principles that guide her work include treating every person with respect, dignity, and compassion; recognizing therapy as an empowering choice; and cultivating mutual trust and collaboration so meaningful change can occur. She believes the therapist must earn trust and that treatment should be adapted to the individual to improve the likelihood of positive outcomes. Maritza maintains licensure in North Carolina and Florida - NC LCSW C014761 and FL LCSW SW2993 - and provides services in both English and Spanish.
