Diane Louise Maldonado

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.
