About Maria Hintog

Hi, I’m Maria Hintog (she/her/siya). I’m a queer, neurodivergent, first-generation Filipinx therapist, sex educator, and intimacy coordinator. My work is rooted in a deep belief: you are not broken. Rebels are allowed to have feelings too.

I specialize in supporting folks navigating big emotions, relational ruptures, identity exploration, grief, shame, rage, and the sacred mess of being human. My practice centers the experiences of people on the margins - rebels, misfits, deep feelers, and those told they’re “too much.”

With lived experience in kink, ENM, and queer communities, I offer a therapy space that is sex-positive, kink-affirming, ENM-aware, trauma-informed, and decolonial in approach.

I’m not here to diagnose and disappear. I’m here to walk beside you as you reclaim your voice, your desires, and your wholeness. Together, we’ll honor the complexity of your experience and explore what healing looks like when it’s rooted in truth, justice, care, and…plenty of humor.

I can’t wait to meet you!

Maria is also a Gottman Level 1 trained clinician, a Certified Sex/Kink Educator, and Certified Intimacy Coordinator. Her work has been featured on Planet Sex with Cara Delevigne (Hulu), Game Changer (Dropout TV), and music videos like Just Us (Jack Harlow feat. Doja Cat). She regularly teaches courses on sex education and the psychology of kink/BDSM.

When she’s not working, Maria enjoys practicing Filipino martial arts, crocheting, backpacking through remote wilderness, dancing, or being joyfully silly with her pitbull, Obi Kenobi.

Maria speaks English and Tagalog.

“These places of possibility within ourselves are dark because they are ancient and hidden; they have survived and grown strong through that darkness. Within these deep places, each one of us holds an incredible reserve of creativity and power, of unexamined and unrecorded emotion and feeling.”

— Audre Lorde
