Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #146708

Hi there! My name is Alyssia Malloian, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I have professional experience providing culturally sensitive and affirming therapy to individuals from diverse backgrounds, ages, and identities. The passion I hold lies within the work I do because knowing that I get to play a small part in someone's growth towards becoming the person they want to become makes my heart swell. It takes strength as an individual to seek out help, and I honor and hold space for the bravery that comes with taking those first couple of steps towards healing and growing! 

I have experience working with children, adolescent's, young adults, and adults, experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, stress management, self-esteem challenges, trauma, grief, and relational problems. My therapeutic orientation aligns with taking humanistic and person-centered approaches with my clients; I create a space that is warm, judgment free, encouraging, and most importantly, safe. I want my clients to find value with their time in sessions, as I feel if someone values the work they are doing, they will want to continue to do the work.Overall, I base my approach on the needs of my clients as I truly come from a place of meeting my clients where they are at - I strive to shift the roles of power where my clients feel in control and a part of the process alongside myself. In doing so, I utilize several modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Narrative Therapy, and Motivational interviewing.

I would love to be a part of your journey and be someone in your life that believes in you, believes in your growth, sees you for you, and cheers you on to becoming the version you want to be of yourself! At the end of the day, I want all my clients to walk away from the session feeling empowered, strong, seen, valued and most importantly human. We are all humans that are just trying to do the work we need to do so that we can achieve the goals we want to achieve! So, with that said, if you feel like I might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out so we can start your journey together!
