Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #146708
Hi there! My name is Alyssia Malloian, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who historically has professional experience working with children and teens in a school based setting. My passion lies within the work I do because knowing that I get to play a small part in someone growing into the person they want to become makes my heart swell. It takes strength as an individual to seek out help, and I honor the bravery that comes with taking those first couple of step towards your healing journey!
I enjoy working with children, and adolescents experiencing anxiety, adjustment challenges, stress management, self-esteem challenges, and relational problems. My therapeutic orientation traditionally aligns with taking humanistic approaches with my clients meaning I create a space that is warm, judgment free, encouraging, and most importantly, enjoyable. I want my clients to enjoy their time in session, as I feel if someone enjoys 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 the clients feel in control, because ultimately they are. In doing do, I utilize several modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Narrative Therapy, and Person-Centered.
I would love to be a part of your journey and be someone in your life that believes in you, believes in your growth, and really just rally's for you to become whatever version you want to be of yourself! At the end of the day, I want all my clients to walk away from session feeling empowered, strong, 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!
