More about Mali

- LCSW-R
I have been a social worker for over 40 years. I picked this type of work because I learned at an early age the difference a competent, empathic and intuitive therapist can make in ones quality of life. I strive to be and do just that. I offer a treatment modality that is comprised largely of supportive and psychotheraputic intervention. I have experience with all ages and life stages as well as a great number of cultures, religions and lifestyles. My specialties are PTSD, bereavement and early childhood disruption and trauma .My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion . My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic therapy.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
She is amazing. Always compassionate and encouraging.
Mali is awesome! She understands what I need and is easy to talk to.
Built a great rapport to start which is important to me. Mostly because you don’t want to open up to someone who is trying to judge or make you do work when you’re already hurting right from the start. She listens well and gives great input. Would highly recommend her to anyone.
I love that it placed me w a therapist that understands me
