Who I Work With
This is for you if…
You had to be the adult before you were one.
You're the fixer, the one who holds it all together.
You raised yourself, and you're tired of winging it alone.
You're capable, but no one ever taught you how to be taken care of.
You're building a family life you were never shown.
Sound familiar? It likely started somewhere deeper than you think.
That's where SDM™ begins →

Learn About SDM™ →
Speak to what's really holding you back.
​
The voice within that says you're not enough? It's likely not yours.
​
Beliefs about your worth and your abilities are often absorbed in childhood, long before you could question them. Understanding where they came from rarely resolves them.
​
SDM is the body-informed method I created to help you separate those beliefs from who you truly are.

Maritza Dyer
LMFT · Founder, Watermark Wellness
With over 15 years of experience, Maritza works with adults and families carrying trauma, grief, and long-held patterns, the kind that don't respond to talking alone.
​
As the creator of the Subconscious Dialogue Method™ (SDM™), Maritza uses a body-informed approach to uncover the hidden beliefs driving decisions that keep people stuck. Many of those beliefs were absorbed early in life and were never truly ours. SDM helps bring them to the surface, where they can be examined and transformed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer?
I provide therapy and coaching crafted for both individual and family needs. My expertise in treating various levels of trauma, addressing unresolved life experiences and coaching clients with empowered goal setting allow for a dynamic approach aimed at creating deeper connections and meaningful change for you.
What is the difference
between therapy and coaching?
Therapy can provide you with emotional support, healing from past unresolved emotional wounds, and gaining an understanding of yourself to find greater peace in the present. ​Coaching is about looking ahead and clarifying your goals to create a future you desire with meaningful action.
In my practice, we can focus on one, or combine both, depending on your individual needs.
What can I expect during a therapy session?
Therapy/coaching sessions are a time for you to talk openly, feel heard and understood. Some days may focus on processing difficult emotions or past experiences, while other may involve learning new skills and strategies. I'll guide the process with questions, reflections and techniques designed for our goals in sessions. We will focus on what matters most to you, whether it's old wounds, understanding patterns, or building new tools to improve your sense of wellbeing.
