About Mallory

I am Mallory, a licensed social worker and therapist with a Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) and a Doctor of Social Work (D.S.W.). My path into this work was shaped by a genuine belief that every person deserves compassionate, individualized care—and that the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the most powerful vehicles for change. I've worked across clinical, educational, and community-based settings, which has deepened my understanding of the social, structural, and personal forces that shape mental health.

My practice is grounded in evidence-based frameworks, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy—I tailor my work to what each client actually needs, drawing on both advanced clinical training and years of close listening.

Whether you're in the depths of a depressive episode, exhausted by anxiety, learning to live with a bipolar diagnosis, or simply carrying more than you should have to carry alone—you deserve support that takes you seriously. When you're ready, I hope you'll reach out and schedule an appointment. That first step is often the hardest, and I'll meet you there.

"I have spent years walking alongside individuals and families in their most vulnerable moments, and that work taught me that people deserve to be truly seen, not just helped."

Get to know Mallory

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

Clients suffering from PTSD, sexual abuse, depression, and anxiety.

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

Rapport building, empathetic assessment.

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?

Experience with trauma informs my practice. My values include compassion, empathy, and genuine concern for a person's well-being.
