Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Philadelphia, PA
Everyone can use an objective voice to help them work out what is going on in their lives. Sometimes relief can begin just by deciding that a little help won’t hurt. “Beneath every behavior there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom” (Ashleigh Warner). This is my philosophy for counseling. I have done work with children/adolescents and their families. Mental health concerns manifest differently in children/teens than they do in adults, and I know what to look for and how to help find the skills to help.

Simply put, an ideal client is the one who just shows up. Whether or not you have been gently encouraged to seek therapy or you have made the decision on your own, it takes courage and intention to move forward on your journey towards growth, self-awareness, and healing. I tend to work well with clients who appreciate elevating and employing their level of introspection and insight. Ideal clients prefer and are open to delving deeper beneath the surface while at the same time understanding and appreciating the importance of behavioral based tools, techniques and interventions that ultimately help practical functionality.

I work with adolescents and adults who want therapy that is both evidence-based and deeply human. Many of my clients come to me seeking skills and insight while also needing a space where they feel fully heard.

My approach balances critical thinking and science with respect for the complexities of lived experience, creating a space that is flexible, collaborative, and focused on what matters most to you.

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!

Let's get one thing straight: You're not crazy. You make sense. Your body and mind have worked hard to survive and this is why you're where you are now - Looking through a thousand profiles for a therapist who seems like they might get it.
Emotions feel overwhelming for a reason; they are alarm bells warning you about a perceived or real threat. In therapy, we unpack this together; we regulate, organize, understand and respond to what your internal and external world are communicating with you. Sometimes it's biology, sometimes trauma, sometimes behavioral, situational, cerebral or sometimes even a fear of who else you could be.
