ABOUT

I’m Maz (pronouns: they/them/theirs), an arab jewish, queer and trans Drama Therapist, artist and theatre maker/director, community herbalist and cultural organizer.

I am a registered Drama Therapist currently offering individual and group drama therapy sessions virtually, and other creative offerings (listed below).

I’m located in Philadelphia, PA on Lenni Lenape land. I received my Masters in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Drama Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 2021, and Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Psychology from New York University.

Offerings

  • Individual Drama Therapy Sessions for children and adults

  • Facilitation for various organizations, companies, and communities

  • Directing for Drama Therapy Solo Performances

  • Directing and 1:1 Character Development Coaching for Theatre Performances (Solo or Group pieces)

APPROACH

My Drama Therapy sessions are grounded in drama and art therapy practices, somatics, meditation and mindfulness, IFS (Internal Family Systems), Liberation Psychology principles, and intergenerational/ancestral healing.

Imagination, play, ancestral connection, and ritual are at the core of my healing and artistic offerings. I see these pillars as tools for our collective and individual liberation.

Frameworks, Therapeutic techniques, and Spiritual practices that guide me:

  • Developmental Transformations

  • Psychodrama

  • IFS (Internal Family Systems)

  • Role Method

  • Liberation Psychology

  • Meditation (I’ve been a meditator and student of Buddhism for over a decade)

  • Theatre of the Oppressed

  • Playback Theatre

  • Play Therapy and Sandtray

    I offer Drama Therapy sessions and all directing/coaching offerings on a sliding scale of $80 - $150 per session.
