Narrative Therapists in Alaska

Veronica Maldonado is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Willow, Alaska, who offers non-traditional hours, works with individuals across the lifespan, with a focus on trauma and PTSD. Many of her clients struggle to feel connected in their relationships or at peace in their lives. Veronica is particularly sensitive to clients facing negative responses to traumatic life experiences, moments of transition, like combat, emergency responders chronic exposure, death, suicide, a move to the city, job loss, or breakup, when the delicate balance can seem to tremble, and symptoms of anxiety, depression, and self-doubt can emerge.

I provide depth-based, relational psychotherapy for adults, strongly influenced by psychodynamic and developmental theories. My goal is to help you heal from social and emotional wounds which show up as depression, anxiety, social isolation, or relationship struggles.

One of my passions is to encourage the strengthening of healthy relationships. This could be healthy relationship with oneself, your loved ones, others in your community or even your finances.

A holistic approach to therapy can offer not just coping mechanisms but a pathway to a more balanced and fulfilling life, acknowledging the interconnection of physical and emotional health.
