Getting to know Carlos Malave

I am an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with a Master’s in Social Work from Lehman College, CUNY. I provide client-centered, evidence-based therapy using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, and psychodynamic approaches to help individuals manage depression, bipolar disorder, adjustment disorders, and anger management. My focus is on creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore emotions, develop coping strategies, and achieve personal growth. I also specialize in trauma-informed care, family systems, and crisis intervention, ensuring holistic support for diverse populations. My approach to therapy is client-centered, collaborative, and strengths-based, focusing on creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions, challenges, and goals. I tailor my interventions to meet the unique needs of each individual, drawing from evidence-based practices to promote healing and growth. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic alliance, ensuring clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment process. I commonly use the following approaches: - Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): I help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors, replacing them with healthier, more adaptive ones. This approach is particularly effective for managing depression, anxiety, and anger. - Solution-Focused Therapy: I incorporate solution-focused techniques to help clients identify their strengths, set achievable goals, and develop practical strategies to overcome challenges. - Psychodynamic Therapy: I utilize psychodynamic principles to explore underlying emotional patterns. In my practice, I typically work with individuals from diverse backgrounds who are navigating challenges such as depression, bipolar disorder, adjustment disorders, and anger management.
