Reynaldo Ortiz-Maldonado

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience helping adults navigate mental health concerns, trauma, substance use, and major life challenges. I know starting therapy can feel difficult, so I work to create a warm, supportive space where you can feel comfortable being open and honest. I value clear communication and believe therapy should feel collaborative, with us working together toward goals that feel meaningful to you. My role is to meet you where you are and support you throughout the process.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and centered on what you need from the process. I use a trauma-informed, person-centered approach and draw from evidence-based strategies to help you better understand patterns, build coping skills, and work toward meaningful change. I value open communication and will be honest and supportive while also encouraging you to challenge yourself when it can help you grow. Therapy is a partnership, and we’ll work together at a pace that feels right for you.

In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to get from the process. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing at your own pace, and being honest about what you need. Together, we’ll begin identifying your goals and what support may be most helpful. You can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space where there is no pressure to have everything figured out right away.
