I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing services to clients for over 20 years. I have worked in several state including New York, Florida and North Carolina. I have treated a wide variety of populations and ages across the entire life span. I believe that a therapist is a tool for you to use on your individual life journey. I also know believe that a person's mental health is just as if not more important than physical health. If your mind is well, physical healing is easier and more possible.
Although I enjoy working with all populations I believe that my experience, skills and level of training are a good fit for individuals struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship and self esteem issues. I also have many years of experience working in family systems.
I hope that my clients will find that I am a compassionate therapist who does not have any other agenda other than what my clients' stated goals are. I hope that my clients will find that therapy with me will be a safe and supportive place to come to.
I utilize cognitive behavioral treatment, dialectical behavioral treatment, family centered treatment and emotionally focused treatment. My approach is to start where you want to begin. I look forward to working with you.

I have been going to therapy for around 7 years now and I have never met anyone who listens to me the way she does! Mala has been extremely helpful to me these past 6 months and I am able to truly understand myself, my traumas and mental illnesses through her, and she helps me work through them day by day and step by step. She always helps me find compassion through my struggles and also helps me see a lot of light through my life. I would definitely recommend Mala Ross to anyone who is looking for Compassion and an open mind.
