Welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping people. I hold a clinical social work license in Maryland, Texas, Utah, and California - with clinical supervisor designation in Texas.
I work primarily with adults, but have experience working with children, adolescents, and couples.
As a social work clinician and Puerto Rican native, I enjoy giving clients the flexibility to engage in therapy in Spanish, if they so choose. My goal is to learn as much as possible about mental health to support my clients. I strive to provide an empathic, nonjudgmental space where those seeking
therapy can feel heard.
Life is hard and sometimes we need help with:
Mailyn is fluent in English and Spanish, which enables her to connect with a diverse range of clients. She has experience in a variety of settings and lends the benefits of this experience in each session, while also understanding that every client is different.
Mailyn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she is also a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor. She's trusted by clients to help them towards a fulfilling life, and she's trusted by other clinicians to provide thoughtful practice supervision.
Therapy goes beyond the session. After each meeting, Mailyn will arm you with tools to help you reach your goals. Together, you will create a plan to get you what you want out of life.
Your first session is a welcoming space for us to get to know each other. It's an opportunity for you to share what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns you might have. We'll discuss the therapy process, confidentiality, and how we can work together to support your journey. Think of it as a first step towards understanding and change, in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
Each therapy session is typically 60 minutes long. This timeframe allows us to dive deep into the topics at hand while respecting the rhythm of your day. Depending on the nature of our work together, the length and frequency of sessions can be adjusted to best meet your needs and goals.
Choosing the right therapy approach is a collaborative process. During our initial sessions, we'll explore your personal history, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve. Based on this, we can determine the most effective therapeutic approach that resonates with you, whether that's cognitive-behavioral, narrative, solution-focused or another modality. Our goal is to tailor the therapy to fit you, not the other way around.
Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. What you share in sessions stays between us, with very few exceptions related to safety and legal obligations. This confidentiality is crucial for creating a trusting and open environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment or exposure.

The frequency of therapy sessions varies depending on your individual needs, goals, and the nature of the issues you're addressing.

We'll regularly assess together what's working best for you.
