Malia Seronio, LMSW
If you’re a woman who seems to have it all together but feels overwhelmed on the inside, you may be struggling with anxiety, high-functioning depression, or ADHD. You push through daily life while carrying the weight of relationships, attachment struggles, and self-criticism. You might be an overachiever, whether in school or your career constantly giving to others while feeling disconnected from yourself. If you’re exhausted from holding it all together, therapy can help you ease the pressure, understand your emotions, and find healthier ways to cope.
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space in which you feel comfortable sharing and exploring difficult issues. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT, mindfulness, EMDR, and motivational interviewing to support your healing journey.
In our work, we’ll focus on what matters most to you, uncover your strengths, and build practical tools to manage life’s challenges. I know reaching out for support can feel difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone.My approach is collaborative and transparent, ensuring your values and priorities guide our work. Whether you’re seeking to process past experiences, build healthier coping strategies, or simply feel more like yourself again, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
