As our nation continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, systemic racism, economic inequality, global warming, and other crises, the NASW-NYC encourages all social workers to look to the 2022 Social Work Month theme, The Time is Right for Social Work. The second annual NASW-NYC #WeSeeYou Luncheon, held during National Women's History Month/Social Work Month aims to honor and acknowledge the many contributions of women-identifying social workers in NYC. This year, the NASW-NYC hosts a panel of incredible women-identifying social workers who will give us insight and perspective into how they incorporate this year's theme in their work".

Hola! Soy Madeline... Hello! I'm Madeline It is such a pleasure to be meeting you here. To get to know me, I have added a little bit of who I am as a clinician, family member and humanitarian. Madeline Maldonado, a licensed Bilingual clinical social worker and seasoned leader, brings over two decades of expertise in mental health advocacy, program development, and culturally competent care. As president and founder of Madeline Maldonado, LCSW Consulting P.C., she provides workshops, staff training, and diagnostic (autism) evaluations, while also serving as the cofounder and president of Minette LCSW Psychotherapy Services PLLC, a clinic dedicated to the mental health needs of Latino and BIPOC communities. Madeline is committed to fostering systemic change and inspiring resilience in the communities she serves. She believes in teaching & empowering clients to be their own advocates, and in working with community partners as allies to address issues in our communities. She confronts problems with teamwork and solution focused strategies. Madeline’s career reflects a legacy of transformative impact and leadership in social work: • Innovative Programs: Her work with the Life is Precious and the Bronx Grassroots Latina Suicide Prevention Program, including contributing to securing grants that funded these life-saving initiatives for Latina adolescents. Her impactful collaboration with Fordham Law School includes wellness workshops for first-year law students and innovative counseling for underrepresented students in their REAL Scholars and IDEAL programs. • Operational Excellence: Her guidance ensured the successful licensure renewals of four mental health programs, guaranteeing high-quality service delivery. Madeline’s focus on culturally humble care has empowered families to have support in environments where they feel understood and respected. • Published Thought Leader: As a co-author of the Amazon-bestselling Latinx/e in Social Work series, with Volume 1 receiving an honorable mention at the 24th International Latino Book Awards, she continues to inspire and connect communities. • Media and Advocacy: Madeline has shared her expertise on the Latinx in Social Work Podcast (including its most downloaded episode, “Dealing with Microaggressions in the Workplace”), the Beauteous Me Podcast, and NYU McSilver Institute CTAC’s Voices from the Field podcast, cementing her reputation as a thought leader in mental health, cultural competency, and advocacy. By collaborating with media outlets like Telemundo and sharing expert insights on mental health topics, Madeline has raised awareness and reduced stigma around mental health issues. Her outreach ensures that important conversations reach diverse audiences. • Inspiring Professional Development: Madeline brings her wealth of experience as an educator and mentor to empower emerging and established professionals. As a former adjunct professor and field advisor at Fordham University’s MSW Program, and the current supervisor of the graduate intern program at Minette Psychotherapy, she has a proven track record of nurturing future leaders in the mental health field. Through her impactful workshops, trainings, and presentations, Madeline provides actionable strategies to combat burnout, reduce stress, and enhance client outcomes. Her dedication inspires professionals to lead with empathy and embrace sustainable, resilient practices in their work. • Representation and Role Modeling: Madeline held the position of Chair for the NASW-NYC Committee on Nominations and Leadership Identification (CNLI) during the 2020-2021 term, following her role as a committee member in the 2019-2020 term. A sought-after speaker, Madeline has presented at major conferences, including the National Latino Behavioral Health Conference, the NASW-NYC Social Work in the City conference, and Autism in Black Conference.

She is an avid animal lover and shares her home with her adorable daschund Lucky and handsome tabby cat Poombah. Back TESTIMONIALS Marcela B. Yussef, Ph.D / Psychologist I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for Ms. Maldonado and feel privileged to know her, always an inspiring clinician, and a leader. From the moment I first met Ms. Maldonado, far too many years ago, during a professional training, I was immediately taken by how clinically skilled she is, as was readily illustrated by her insightful comments during the public discussion. Since then, I have had the opportunity to consult with her, I have read her comprehensive evaluation reports, and have had the good fortune of getting to know her. She is not only an astute clinician, but most importantly, she is warm, approachable, and truly cares. One tiny example of her commitment and how she goes the extra mile to care for those who are fortunate to work with her, be that as clients, both children and their families, as well as her colleagues, is how generous she always is, not just sharing her well informed clinical opinions, but always sharing additional resources to support the families she works with, and happily sharing such information with other clinicians as well, because her priority is to educate, support, and do her best for our community at large. Kimberly McCoy, Esq., M.S.Ed./Senior Family Educator Madeline Maldonado is a consummate professional and absolute pleasure to work with. I have recommended her services to various clients and they always rave about her. Madeline is relatable and has a knack of having difficult conversations with clients--while still instilling hope, helping them to see that while their path may be difficult, it is not impossible and can still be great. This is important when dealing with parents of children with disabilities. Denora Phillips, M.S./Developmental Evaluator Madeline elevates the field of social work to exceptional heights and works tirelessly to ensure that people from all communities and walks of life have equal access to resources. She is a warrior of social justice and truth. She gives a voice to and breathes hope in the lives of marginalized and oppressed people. She meets clients and families where they are at and skillfully listens to them in order to get to the root of the issues that affect them. She does not just offer solutions, but also arms her clients with tools to empower themselves and navigate challenges they will face in the future. - LinkedIn - Madeline Maldonado, LCSW
