Reduced-Cost Therapy
Work in Progress is proud to offer reduced-cost therapy through our practicum student program. When we have training therapists on our team, they are all masters-level students completing their clinical practicum training to advance their skills and become registered psychotherapists or registered social workers. Our training therapists offer reduced rates for virtual and in office work ranging from $50-$100 per individual session, and $75-$125 for relationship therapy. Rates are assessed based on client income as well as other barriers to mental health care. All students are supervised by an experienced member of our team. They bring a unique skillset, have prior experience in the field of mental health, and most of all inject enthusiasm into their work.
Meet our Training Therapists
Maia Woolner
Training Therapist
PhD, MACP Candidate,
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Maia supports adults navigating family and relational conflict, ambiguous grief, chronic illness, reproductive health and infertility, as well as stressors related to graduate studies and academic life. With a decade of experience studying and teaching history and philosophy before becoming a therapist, she brings a deep curiosity about human experience to her clinical work.
She helps clients make sense of their pasts and patterns, clarify values and desires, and find meaning amid life’s highs, lows, and uncertainties. Her aim is to offer a space where clients can slow down, ask hard questions, and explore who they are beyond external expectations.
Maia’s approach is non-judgmental, humanistic, and tailored to each client. She works primarily from existential, psychodynamic, and narrative perspectives, while integrating other strategies as needed. Her background allows her to support a wide range of concerns, including life transitions, family dynamics, academic stress, and the emotional complexities of chronic illness and infertility.
Alongside her psychotherapy training (MACP), Maia holds a PhD in the history of psychology and psychiatry from UCLA and an MPhil from the University of Cambridge. Her work in the medical humanities continues to shape her practice, grounding her approach in an awareness of the cultural and historical narratives that inform mental health and relationships.
