Beth VanKeuren Maldonado

I am a therapist (LCSW) with over 25 years of clinical experience including inpatient, outpatient, IOP psychiatric hospital-based setting with adults 18 and up. I have worked with children and families in other community based settings which has helped give me experience from a full lifespan perspective.

I graduated with a B.S. Master's in Social Work from Columbia University in 2001.

If you are here to work in ways of thinking or behaviors that that no longer serve you or other stressors that effect you mentally, emotionally and physically, you’re in the right place.

You may be experiencing stressors such as trauma, work, relationships, caregiving, parenting, family stress, divorce, grieving, addictions, life transitions and other issues. I will guide you to find ways to cope and manage symptoms. Some may be struggling with exacerbation of symptoms from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders as well as trauma/PTSD.

All the while I will work with you at your pace to help you build a bridge of deeper understanding and knowledge towards the goals you would like to work towards.

I utilize a variety of modalities tailored to each individual such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT for PTSD), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing and other strength-based modalities.

I connect to each individual with a client centered approach that is a safe, warm and compassionate.

My approach is casual, warm and professional. This is your process and I meet you where you are at. I am here to listen, support and when needed challenge you.

I will work with you to identify a goal you would like to work towards your goal. This is a process that is best suited in a warm, safe environment. It's about bringing forth your truth and discovering insights and awareness about yourself.
