Malia Seronio, LMSW

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or life’s challenges? My name is Malia Seronio, and I specialize in helping individuals who are navigating mood disorders, trauma, and life transitions. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, including People of Color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those who are Neurodiverse. I understand how these unique experiences shape our challenges, and I strive to create a culturally safe space where your identity is respected and celebrated.

I use evidence-based approaches like Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, EMDR, and motivational interviewing to support your healing journey. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you, identify your strengths, and develop practical skills to manage life’s difficulties with greater confidence.

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.
