Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi, I’m Shakira Maldonado, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and Florida, dedicated to helping adults and teens navigate life’s challenges. With three years of experience in individual therapy, I specialize in providing a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment.
My approach is highly personalized, blending evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices with a compassionate, client-centered focus. I work with teens to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and the pressures of school and social life. Together, we build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and foster resilience during this critical stage of development.
For adults, I am committed to helping build healthier relationships, enhance self-esteem, and navigate significant life transitions. Whether you’re seeking to manage stress, develop healthier coping skills, or process unresolved emotions, I’m here to guide you on your journey toward self-awareness and emotional well-being.
Let’s work together—whether you’re a teen or an adult—to achieve the balance and peace you deserve.
