My name is Madeline Almonte, and I am a Bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor from New York with extensive experience in educational and therapeutic roles. My Mental Health practice is named THRIVE Wellness & Coaching, LLC, because my vision and approach emphasizes inspiring and guiding clients to THRIVE in life by realizing their true potential through self-reflection and tailored strategies. I work to enhance self-esteem and confidence, alleviate anxiety and depression, and address the impact of traumatic experiences. By focusing on positive development and personal growth, I aim to empower individuals to achieve their aspirations and thrive in all aspects of their lives. Let’s THRIVE together!
In your first session, you can expect a personalized approach where we’ll discuss your unique needs, goals, and challenges. I create a warm, empathetic environment to ensure you feel heard and valued. We’ll begin building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and open communication. Whether dealing with procrastination, anxiety, or low self-esteem, I’ll provide practical tools to help you start overcoming obstacles and working towards your personal and professional goals.
My greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to create a supportive and empathetic environment, my personalized and holistic approach to therapy, and my commitment to building strong, trusting relationships with clients. I bring extensive experience working with diverse populations, including teenagers and adults, which enhances my ability to address a wide range of challenges with cultural sensitivity. I’m dedicated to helping clients achieve their personal and professional goals through practical tools and strategies tailored to their unique needs.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals of diverse backgrounds and ages gain insight into their thoughts and behaviors. CBT empowers clients by teaching them to recognize and alter negative patterns, manage challenges effectively, and enhance their social-emotional well-being. This approach encourages clients to set personal goals, develop actionable plans to achieve them, and ultimately improve their overall quality of life.
Incorporating a person-centered approach, I provide a supportive and empathetic environment where clients feel valued and understood. This approach facilitates self-exploration and personal insight, helping clients better understand their emotions and experiences. By fostering a non-judgmental space, clients can achieve personal growth and self-fulfillment.
I employ Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to address challenges by emphasizing practical solutions rather than dwelling on problems. This method helps clients identify their strengths and resources, focusing on actionable steps and solutions to improve their situation efficiently. The goal is to create a positive, forward-looking framework supporting rapid progress and effective change.
