Malia Seronio, LMSW
If you’re a woman or professional who appears to have it all together but often feels overwhelmed on the inside, you may be experiencing anxiety, high-functioning depression, or ADHD. You move through each day carrying the weight of relationships, attachment challenges, and constant self-criticism. You might identify as an overachiever, someone who’s always striving, giving to others, and excelling in your career or education, yet still feeling disconnected from yourself. If you’re tired of holding everything together on your own, therapy can help you release the pressure, better understand your emotions, and build 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.
