Welcome to my practice!

Hello, I'm Dr. Maritza Kerekes, PsyD, LAc, DiplAc, CtH. Welcome to my personal journey of growth, healing, and holistic practice. I'm excited to share with you how my career path has evolved from the foundations of psychology to the transformative world of acupuncture and holistic therapies.

Background

My academic journey began at Mount Holyoke College, where I immersed myself in the fascinating world of psychology. Eager to delve deeper, I continued my education at Pace University, obtaining  Master's and Doctorate degrees in School/Clinical psychology. For many years, I dedicated myself to working across a broad spectrum of ages—from infancy to the geriatric population. My experience spans various settings, including public schools, hospitals, community centers, nursing homes, and private practice, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of the diverse needs and challenges faced by individuals at different life stages.

Transition to Holistic Health

Despite finding success in my role as a school and clinical psychologist, I felt a compelling drive to explore more physically engaging and spiritually integrative approaches to healing. This quest led me to an "aha!" moment when I discovered the profound potential of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to harmonize the mind, body, and spirit.

Determined to master this ancient practice, I pursued further education in the physical sciences and then a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at the prestigious East West College of Natural Medicine. I graduated among the top of my class, fueled by a relentless passion for holistic health and a commitment to excellence.

Specialization in Holistic Facial Rejuvenation

During my studies in acupuncture, I developed a deep interest in holistic facial rejuvenation. This specialty not only enhances physical appearance but also promotes overall wellness, reflecting the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. My passion led me to study with many experts in the field, allowing me to refine my techniques and broaden my therapeutic offerings.

Integrating Psychology and Eastern Medicine

My extensive background in psychology has seamlessly integrated into my practice of Eastern medicine. This unique combination allows me to offer a holistic approach that addresses not just the physical symptoms but also the emotional and psychological aspects of health.
