I'm Dariana Pichardo, a dedicated and empathetic social worker and psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience. My passion lies in supporting diverse populations as they navigate mental health issues, trauma, and social adversities. Mindfulness-based meditation forms a cornerstone of my approach, emphasizing the cultivation of present-moment awareness and a non-judgmental acceptance of thoughts and feelings. Through this practice, clients can develop a deeper connection with themselves and navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and resilience.
