In these uncertain times, many individuals experience increased stress and anxiety, leading to feelings of isolation, irritability, and sadness, often manifesting in maladaptive behaviors, including risky behaviors or challenges with substance use. Therapeutic Mind Group, led by Tito Maltos, MSW, LSWAIC, MHP, is dedicated to providing compassionate support to clients navigating these emotional challenges. With over two years of experience as a therapist, he utilizes a strength-based approach through various modalities, including psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and play therapy. Tito specializes in addressing issues such as depression, behavioral problems, and anxiety in diverse populations — from preteens and adolescents to adults and elders. His commitment to a harm-reduction philosophy emphasizes what can be controlled, reducing stress, and activating individual strengths and community supports. As a father of two, Tito holds a deep understanding and interest in assisting children and teens facing difficulties at home, school, or in their communities. He believes that taking the first step toward therapy, while daunting, is one of the most crucial and rewarding journeys one can embark on.
