Maureen Zigulich

Licensed Professional Counselor

Knowledge is power, which includes knowing yourself. Seeking therapy is a brave and honorable act for both you and your loved ones. What our thoughts, feelings, emotions, and body are communicating to us can be difficult to interpret. Maureen believes growth and healing come from allowing ourselves to listen to all of these facets, in addition to approaching life experiences with self awareness and acceptance. By creating a safe space where one can feel heard, understood and accepted, Maureen uses warmth and humor to aid her clients in exploring their depth to gain insight and find resiliency in the face of life's hurdles. In her work, she practices evidence-based therapeutic modalities to ensure the most appropriate care for her clients.

Maureen works with couples, adults, and teens and is passionate about supporting people who seek treatment for:

  • Romantic and non-romantic relationships
  • Eating disorders and other forms of self harm
  • LGBTQA+ individuals as they explore their identities
  • Toxic masculinity and femininity (society’s gender role assignments)

Maureen’s background as a collegiate athlete, marketing professional, fitness instructor and comedic writer lay a foundation for empathy with those who struggle with perfectionism, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions.

Sports Mindset Coach

Maureen’s experiences as a collegiate athlete, fitness instructor, comedic writer, and pre-licensed therapist provide the perfect combination to support those looking to harness the competitive edge in their game.

Few words can describe the panic that sets in when you realize it’s an “off” day, right when you’re expected to perform. Even knowing your team may be counting on you often isn’t enough to pull you out of the thought spiral or defeatist attitude. As your sports mindset coach, my goal is to help you break through these mental roadblocks, develop performance stability, find your flow state, and enhance your performance. My lifetime of athletic experiences enables a strong sense of compassion and connection to understanding my athletes. Peak performance goes beyond our physical capabilities, relying on  harnessing motivation, identifying/ developing our strengths/ challenges, and creating appropriate, realistic goals to move toward success.
