Maya Attia

Maya Attia is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Irvine, California, specializing in sex-positive and LGBTQIA+-affirming care. Her practice centers on neurodivergent individuals and couples navigating diverse sexual expressions and relational dynamics — including ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, and kink/BDSM lifestyles.

Maya brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to her work. With ten years of personal involvement in ethically non-monogamous relationships and BDSM communities, she offers clients a genuinely nonjudgmental space to explore who they are and how they love. She understands the unique challenges that come with living outside mainstream relationship models — from negotiating agreements and managing jealousy to navigating social stigma and building authentic connection.

Maya's therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing on person-centered therapy, Gestalt, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and emotionally focused techniques. She also weaves in insights from her background in the performing and visual arts, supporting clients in embodied, creative pathways to change.

Her work with neurodivergent clients reflects a deep understanding of how ADHD, autism, and related profiles intersect with intimacy, communication, and relational structures. Whether you're navigating a new relationship dynamic, repairing a rupture, or simply seeking to understand yourself better, Maya meets you where you are.
