Bio
Madeleine Pena is a Licensed Master Social Worker in Arizona specializing in stress, burnout, and emotional regulation for students and working professionals. She offers bilingual therapy in English and Spanish, providing a supportive and culturally responsive space for clients navigating stress, trauma, and life transitions.
Alongside her primary focus she works with anxiety, depression and mood-related challenges, and with self-esteem, confidence, and identity development. She is trained in EMDR and works from a client-centered, mindfulness-informed frame.
Therapy shouldn't feel confusing or like you're going to the doctor — sessions with me feel like talking with a safe and supportive friend.
She chose this career path in college after going through therapy for her own mental health and finding it empowering. Clients describe her as warm, relatable, and easy to talk to, and she is direct that a large part of her value is scheduling: she offers telehealth at afternoons, evenings, and weekends so clients do not have to miss work to prioritise therapy.
Her stated goal is helping clients focus on self-love, self-discovery, and building a wellness routine they can actually follow through with — whether they feel disconnected from themselves, are blindsided by a major life transition, are dealing with the loss of a relationship, or feel stuck in shame and fear.
