“Recognizing that you are not where you want to be is a strong point to begin changing your life” -Deborah Day

I am so glad you are here.

It is difficult to understand why we may feel lost, tired, and hopeless during our most vulnerable moments.

My approach to therapy is to create and deliver a safe and supportive environment that allows individuals to connect, discover, and address challenges.

I am passionate on helping individuals uncover childhood trauma, build positive coping mechanisms and self-esteem, personal development, impact of loss, trauma and improving interventions to support emotional, physical, and relationship recovery.

I strongly believe rapport, validation, and empathy are key factors in a therapeutic alliance.

Hi my name is Diane Maldonado and I am a Trainee in the field of Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have had training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children and have a deep desire to help them become restored. Assisting your family as you navigate the grief that comes with experiencing these deep wounds, so that everyone can negotiate the future together, is my intentional purpose. Advocating for you and supporting your life journey is my aspiration by helping you discover the tools within yourself to empower you to be even more successful. “Healing takes time, some wounds take longer.”

Let me help you walk through this time in your life as we heal these wounds. I practice deep breathing, mindfulness-based therapy, strengths based, and cognitive behavioral therapy myself. You don’t know if a tool works until you use it, so let’s find the tools you need.

I read a book several years back and one of the quotes stuck with me, it says: “Often the hardest person to fight for is yourself. But you must. Your heart is needed. You must be present and engaged in order to love well and fight on behalf of others. Without you, much will be lost.” Stasi Eldredge, Captivating.

I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you better.

I am an Associate Marriage Family Therapist and Professional Clinical Counselor. I specialize in trauma and PTSD and the common outcomes to these experiences, such as depression and anxiety.

Life sucks sometimes and some of those experiences change the way we view ourselves and the world. Do you feel like you are not good enough or that you don't deserve to be loved? Have you lost joy in the things that use to make you happy? Do you feel like you are just going through the motions of every day? You don't have to. Together, we can free you from the weight of these feelings of depression, anxiety, sadness, shame, regret, etc.

I am trained in various trauma treatments, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), and Cognitive Process Therapy (CPT). Along with general talk therapy, I will help you explore your past experiences in a safe space, at your own pace, to rid yourself of these negative beliefs about yourself that are holding you back from living your best life.

I have training in Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) trauma therapy and Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT). I look at your situations through the lenses of attachment and use techniques that are focused on building healthy attachments, improving relationships with self and others, and healing trauma.

My clients have described me as being empathetic, supportive, down-to-earth, with just the right amount of sense of humor. My goal is to provide you with a comfortable environment where you are supported, accepted, and not judged.
