You're here because you're doing the hard thing of reaching for help. Many wait until they are at the edge because of how vulnerable it feels. You feel like you should be able to figure things out. We all need help sometimes. You being here just means you are human like me. I have worked with clients since 2010. I specialize in working with children/adolescents and families, couples, and adults who struggle with anger, depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD and have expertise with Personality Disorders. I have extensive experience working with Borderline Personality Disorder for 14 years. You want your life on track, I'm here to help.

No two people are alike. We are all unique in some ways. I respect that and as such approach each client with an individualized (client-centered) approach. I emphasize mindfulness, strengths, coping skills and positivity. I utilize aspects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, CBT, psychoanalysis, and some other methods. Together we'll find a way

I know it's not easy being where you're at right now, even just on this page. But you've made it this far which means you need it and I strongly urge you to reach out. If nothing else you can get a little feedback and insight. At best though, you'll find someone in me that understands, and works with you as we explore your concerns. I'm here.

We are beings in the world, therefore relationships are always an influence and topic (if not a focus) in therapy. I also believe in working with children that helping guide parents is integral. Whether it be with Personality Disorders for which I am specifically trained, or other issues, I will be supportive and also confrontational to help you make change and progress in your life.

I have a core of a Client-Centered approach. I trust that you have the potential for change and I follow what you need. I use a lot of mindfulness principles, particularly those of DBT. We do not need to dwell on your childhood forever but I will explore it for any relevant influences. You can expect individualized care, guidance and healthy challenges. No two clients will receive the same.

Groups

Express Yourself: An Expressive Therapy Group

Hosted by

Adam Lawrence Maldonado

Supportive Therapy Group for Young Adults - There are many ways we communicate and express ourselves. Perhaps you like drawing, painting, or relate to music? Maybe you like crafting or play an instrument? I respect that talk therapy isn't always easy and there can be other ways. This is an open ongoing group. It's a processing group which means you'll be given space among peers to process what you are going through in life. Struggling with family/relationships? Having a hard time with work/school? Come relate! We're here for you! Art resources will be available!
