Pregnancy, Prenatal, & Postpartum Support

With specialized training through Postpartum Support International, I offer compassionate care for those facing the unique emotional challenges of pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Therapeutic Approaches

From Narrative Therapy—which helps clients reframe their life stories and find meaning, to Bowen Family Therapy, which examines family dynamics, to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on breaking cycles of negative thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),  our therapies are grounded in research and tailored to your unique needs.

About The Ridge

At The Ridge Therapy, I provide a warm, supportive, and safe environment for individuals, couples, and families navigating life’s challenges. Think of therapy as a guided climb: I support women through postpartum, motherhood, young adulthood, and midlife transitions, and work with couples and pre-marital clients in Charlotte and across North Carolina to ease anxiety and perfectionism, reduce conflict, strengthen communication, and deepen connection.

About Maria Dimova

Hi - I'm Maria Dimova (She/Her), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Charlotte, North Carolina. I take a no-nonsense approach, with a touch of humor, to life’s challenges and mental health. 

Therapy doesn’t have to be stiff — it’s a collaborative space to explore your challenges, together. I consider it a privilege to help others uncover their resilience, deepen relationships, and reconnect with their most authentic selves. We will use a systemic lens to foster understanding and guide growth that truly lasts.

I obtained a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pfeiffer University and furthered my love for family with those at the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Sociology with a concentration in Families and Intimate Relationships, as well as a minor in Family and Consumer Sciences, from Appalachian State University. I enjoy traveling, browsing the local food scene, and believe football season is the best season.

Are you ready to take the first step?
