Hello, I'm Vicky Maldonado. I received my Master's Degree in Counseling from Wayland Baptist University in 2021. Over the past three years, my focus has been on working with adolescents grappling with various challenges such as anxiety, defiance disorders, and depression.

Now, I often work with adults struggling with emotional dysregulation, social isolation, and childhood trauma. My work extends beyond teenagers, where I assist in fostering open communication, establishing boundaries, and facilitating emotional expression — skills that benefit individuals of all ages. Central to my approach is empowering individuals to recognize their strengths and address their needs.

You can expect us to work together to implement and practice coping skills to help improve emotional regulation, enhance your interpersonal skills, and increase distress tolerance when stressful situations arise. In therapy, you can practice addressing past traumas that have affected your behaviors, choices, and negatively impacted your daily life.

Hello! My name is Yolanda Correa, and I was born and raised in Mexico. I have always had a passion for working with young children and supporting their growth and development.

I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Our Lady of the Lake University in 2011, and before that, I completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and Child and Family Studies in California. With over 30 years of experience, my focus has been helping young children thrive in all areas of development.

Currently, I specialize in child mental health, working with children who may be struggling with emotional regulation, defiant and disruptive behaviors, anxiety, and trauma. My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe, nurturing space where children feel comfortable expressing their emotions and processing their experiences. I also work closely with caregivers, ensuring we collaborate as a team to create the best possible outcomes for the child.

I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Play Therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). These methods allow children to process their emotions in a way that is both age-appropriate and engaging, using play and creative expression as a pathway to healing.

I am passionate about helping children feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we can build a strong foundation for their emotional well-being and future success!
