I’m Malanna (like Madonna, but make it therapy)! I take an unorthodox, approach to therapy where I believe mental health deserves the same sincerity, attention, and respect as physical health and wellness. I never take it lightly when someone sits in front of me and trusts me with their vulnerability. That kind of trust is a privilege to hold, and I meet it with deep respect, care, and intention. I’m big on collaboration! I believe the best work happens when your self-insight meets my clinical expertise. You already hold so much wisdom about your own life, even if stress, pain, trauma, or just life itself has made it harder to see!

What the hell is even happening right now?” Maybe your mind’s on overdrive replaying the past, worrying about what’s next, or just trying to hold it all together. You’ve taken deep breaths, listened to podcasts, and read books, but it’s still exhausting. Anxiety’s running high. You’re snapping at the people you care about. Some days, even getting out of bed feels like too much. You want to feel calm, connected, and in control, but no matter how hard you try, it keeps slipping through your fingers.

You've been getting through it. Functioning, managing, keeping things moving. But something underneath hasn't resolved, and you can feel it. I work with adults and seniors navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and sleep struggles. Over the past decade I have focused much of my work on trauma and posttraumatic stress, and I also bring deep experience with depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, and relationships. Clients often describe me as warm but direct: someone who will genuinely support you and challenge you in equal measure.

My clients are mostly adults, but I also serve ages 5 -18 by creating a safe, non-judgmental tele-mental health space. One of the benefits of my practice is that my clients will experience collaborative, active listening, trauma informed sessions tailored to apply evidence based strategies based upon their unique needs, interest values, beliefs, personal narrative and treatment goals. What has also been effective is combining compassionate listening with actionable strategies that incorporate relevant clinical factors, clients' presenting challenges and mutual course of actions that support clients' holistic growth toward healing.

Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists
How does cognitive processing therapy work?
A CPT therapist helps a client evaluate their thoughts about the trauma they experienced, focusing on maladaptive or self-blaming thoughts that can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The therapist will work with a client to help them learn to challenge such thoughts and consider different perspectives. The therapist is also likely to ask a client to work on these techniques at home between meetings, such as writing an account of their trauma that can be read aloud during a future session.

What is cognitive processing therapy for PTSD?
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily used in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to treat individuals who experienced abuse or violence, who survived natural disasters, who were first responders to such incidents, or who otherwise experienced trauma.

How long does cognitive processing therapy last?
CPT is a short-term therapy. Whether conducted one-on-one or in a group, a complete set of CPT sessions typically includes 12 weekly sessions, along with tasks for clients to complete at home, although this can vary depending on a client’s needs or a therapist’s particular treatment plan. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes.

How effective is cognitive processing therapy?
A large body of research supports the use of CPT to treat people experiencing PTSD, finding it to be effective among different age groups, either in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group therapy environment. Research suggests that although the initial sessions may be difficult, clients tend to begin to feel positive progress after the first few sessions, and that the benefits tend to last well after the therapy ends.
