Gloria Maldonado, LCSW

Gloria Maldonado, LCSW, helps individuals and families navigate life’s challenges through compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to their unique needs. Serving communities across California, she offers support to children, teens, adults, and seniors, creating a safe space where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered. At LifeStance Health, Gloria provides individual, couples, family, and group therapy, guiding clients through a range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

With a deep commitment to trauma-informed care, Gloria is especially passionate about supporting individuals affected by PTSD, domestic violence, and complex trauma. She works extensively with survivors of abuse, individuals experiencing post-partum anxiety and depression, and those navigating major life transitions. Her therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, helping clients build resilience and move forward with strength. Gloria also works with those impacted by substance use and psychosis, offering stabilizing support that promotes long-term healing and recovery.

Gloria has a strong background in supporting foster and adoptive families, individuals on the autism spectrum, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. She draws from a range of therapeutic interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, family therapy, and parenting skills training. Additional areas of focus include ADHD, grief, school avoidance, and midlife and later-life transitions, and she offers services in both English and Spanish to meet the diverse needs of her community.

Outside of her clinical work, Gloria enjoys hiking, working out, visiting museums, and attending concerts and plays. She finds balance and inspiration through travel, long scenic drives, and time spent shopping.
