Welcomes to BetterHelp! My name is Malia and I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Colorado and Texas. I am so glad that you made a decision to get support and guidance! Therapy can be a big decision and it requires a lot of trust and vulnerability which is why it is my goal to help you feel safe to share and be yourself. I have been practicing therapy over 12 years and specialize in working with clients on a variety of areas such anxiety, depression, addictions, self esteem, grief, relationship issues, divorce and more. In our sessions, we will focus on the individual needs of each client with compassion, patience, non-judgement and understanding. I am a strength based therapist and focus on helping client’s see that they are resilient and help them work towards a new perspective. As a LMFT, while I no longer work directly with couples or families, I do work individually with clients from a relational model where we focus on how to best support you within your relationships with yourself, your personal life and professional life. We will talk about boundaries, work/life balance, values, and communication to name a few topics. We will focus on your individual needs as they relate to your current challenges and goals and discuss the impact relationship dynamics have on you. What we know is that our daily lives are impacted by those around us in every environment. That brings both a lot of support and also challenges. We will really focus on what you can control within yourself and model healthy behavior to those around you. This work will be about you, it’s for you to be your healthiest, best self. Many other topics outside of therapy can and will be explored as they pertain to you. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Client Centered Therapy, Positive Psychology, IFS tools and other approaches to help find a sense of inner control over thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I am honored you chose me as your provider and if you don't mind, my animals like sitting in on sessions at times. :) I am excited to work with you!

My degrees and experience: I have been counseling since 2016 and am currently a Nationally Certified Counselor, a Licenced Professional Counselor, and Certified Clinical Supervisor of Career Counseling. I earned my Masters of Education in Counseling from Colorado State University and have worked primarily with young adults and midlife career changers. I specialize in anxiety stress and self-doubt, as well as in career development and life design. My philosophy: My experience as a counselor who helps others overcome obstacles, persevere through troubling times, and developed stronger relationships comes from my education. Life has a tricky way of teaching us what we need to learn from trial, error, and sometimes even failure. For me, career failure has been a great teacher and has helped me understand how to better help my clients find passion, fulfillment, purpose, and drive in their work as much as in their personal lives. After quitting a 10-year career in graphic design, I decided to never again allow myself to live with constant burnout, anxiety, and stress from the expectations set by family, friends, work, and society. It was at that point that I began formally studying counseling and career development at Colorado State University where I focused specifically on the impact of career on human development. It was at CSU that I realized how important work satisfaction can be to personal relationships and overall mental health. Similarly, struggles with mental health and personal relationships can also have a negative impact on a career, which is why I bring a career perspective to all my sessions. Because of this, I will implement aspects of counseling and personal development that you may never have been exposed to so that you can gain a greater sense of clarity in your life story. My approach is primarily a mixture of cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and positive psychology approaches. My why: Why I counsel is simple. I help to unleash people from their doubts and fears about life so that we can build a better, happier, and more fulfilling world. My question to you: Do you believe that your current personal and professional lives are affecting each other and causing you distress and discomfort? If so, reach out to me and we'll set up a session soon.

Everyone has a story: how we live within our stories affects the people we are and who we are in the process of becoming. Our stories are about the things we’ve done and the things that have been done to us. We’ve hurt people and been hurt by people. We all have parts of our stories we wish we could change, erase or do over. We’ve listened to, believed and internalized things we or other people have said about us with profound impact. I believe in listening to and working within your story to help and I would be honored if you choose to share your story with me.
