Are you having difficulty managing life’s challenges such as transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, or attention issues? I understand how scary it can be to take the first step towards change and I am honored to work with you through this. You are the expert on your own life and we will work collaboratively to develop effective strategies to better manage your life. I specialize in working with teens and adults who are struggling with sadness, constant worries, difficulty concentrating, loneliness, relationship difficulties, traumatic experiences, feeling overwhelmed, and/or stress in the family, work, or school environment.

If you’ve been struggling to cope with the upheavals of life, perhaps my approach to therapy would be helpful for you. If you want to experiment with healthier ways of thinking, feeling and being, I can help. According to Brene Brown, we cannot be more connected to others than we are to ourselves, and I have personally come from a place where I was completely dissociated from my own emotions, even after marriage and kids. With the information I learned on my journey to wholeness, I am able to help my clients explore ways to heal their heartache, and connect with themselves and others to find happiness and fulfillment.

If you're feeling stuck and frustrated that you can't seem to manage your life the way you would like, it may be time to seek help. Many people struggle and suffer unnecessarily, when all they need is a fresh perspective, a nudge in the right direction, or a new skill or two to help them reach their goals. With a focus on acceptance and empowerment, my goal in working with you will be to help you understand and accept where you are and how you got there, then establish goals for moving toward the life you desire.

I value and appreciate the courage it takes to open up and talk about stress in your life, relationship difficulties, and regrets. It's important to be able to talk to someone who is nonjudgmental. I value the therapeutic relationship and I believe it is important to find a good match between client and therapist.

Are you a woman whose anxiety, unmet expectations or comparison of others is causing you to feel emotionally drained? Do you struggle with disordered eating, body image issues or behaviors that make you want to hide and isolate from others? Are you dealing with unresolved trauma, grief and loss, difficult life transitions or unhealthy boundaries that are causing problems in your relationships? Are you a friend, mother, or significant other who never feels good enough or appreciated so you react with anger, defensiveness and then feel guilt and shame afterwards? If any of this sounds like you, I can help!

Reaching out for professional support when life is feeling challenging can be difficult, but know you are not alone. People decide to come to therapy for a wide variety of reasons- you may be struggling with mental or emotional distress, desire to change behaviors or you may want to gain a new perspective on your life. Whatever your reasons for seeking help, I am here to offer you a warm, supportive environment to help you work through the difficulties you are facing.

It is easy to feel stuck. It is easy to believe you can't feel better. Let me show you a different way. My name is Malinda Myers. I believe that mental health is health, and just like we get physical injuries, we can get mental ones as well. I use attachment theory, embodiment and somatic healing as some of the ways to help you heal. I draw on Bessel van der Kolk, Gabor Mate and Stephen Porges for much of my inspiration and guidance in sessions.
