Desiree Maldonado-Peluffo

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am licensed in Massachusetts with over 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & depression. I have great understanding and compassion for the difficulty of having these struggles along with a history of trauma. Therapy can provide emotional support, enhanced coping skills, and personal growth. If you’d like to feel more hopeful and improve the relationship with yourself and others, my goal is to give you the tools to do just that.

I utilize Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, CBT, and Mindfulness. I offer ways to remove the control negative emotions and unhealthy mindsets can have. Mindfulness strategies also allow us to stay connected to the present moment and build a more meaningful life.

Therapy is a non-judgmental place and I am here to help!

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and adapting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit of remote care is flexibility – individuals can choose the mode of connection that fits their lives best, including video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other obligations. Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and if someone feels they need a different fit, they can switch therapists at any time. For many people, the convenience and accessibility of online therapy make it a practical option for receiving consistent support and working toward their goals.
