Maria Lytle, PsyD

I am a clinical psychologist serving adults for individual therapy in the states of Pennsylvania and Oregon.

I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Franklin and Marshall College and completed my master’s degree and doctorate in clinical psychology from George Fox University. I have provided therapy, supervision, and assessment services in a variety of clinical settings, including schools, universities, and group practices.

I feel incredibly lucky to have found my vocation in psychotherapy and profoundly honored to walk alongside my patients.

I was born and raised in Pennsylvania with familial roots in Puerto Rico. In my spare time, I enjoy seeing live music, connecting with nature, songwriting, singing, reading, and thrifting. 

Therapeutic Approach

As my style is one that’s exploratory and emotionally-focused, I work best with those who are naturally curious about their own minds and are looking to more deeply understand themselves. I strive to provide present, relational, imaginative, and compassionate care. My therapeutic interests include, but are not limited to, relationship issues, shame, creativity, depression, anxiety, life transitions, perfectionism, chronic illness and disability, religious and complex trauma. I have special interest and experience in working with Latino clients and fellow therapists.

Psychoanalyst Erich Fromm captures my promise and commitment to those I work with: “When you come to me, I will be completely open to you. And I shall respond with all the chords in myself which are touched by the chords in yourself. That is all we can promise and that is a promise we can keep.”
