Great to meet you!
My name is Darinka Maldonado, I am a Bi-Lingual Licensed Social Worker in the State of New Jersey. I have over 15 years’ experience working with people at times in their most vulnerable moments, most recently since being licensed over a year I have provided therapy services to Children, Adolescents and Adults. I have enjoyed most helping people navigate tough challenges to find their “happy” again.
A bit about my approach to therapy
I believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, empathy and sensitivity. All people deserve consideration and respect for their differences and beliefs. I believe in creating a safe space unique to each individual with the goal of helping you reach your goals, knowing that I will support and empower you every step of the way.
