Racial Identity Therapists in Oviedo, FL

Have you struggled to feel safe, seen, and heard with a mental health professional? Have you ever felt not good enough despite your achievements? Or felt like you are an imposter—that you are just fooling people? Ever feel tired and unmotivated but unable to turn off your thoughts? Let me help. Healing outcomes for my clients have included: freeing themselves from their inner critic, increasing their self-trust and confidence, increasing their "response-ability" -- ability to feel and respond (not react) to their life, enlarging their capacity to self-nurture, increasing resilience & discovering passion/meaning in their lives.

Do you feel like you’re not being heard by your partner? Or not appreciated? Whether aimed at addressing small issues or dealing with potentially relationship-breaking challenges, therapy can help you each feel valued, heard, and connected. In a non-judgmental, supportive environment I meet with couples or individuals online from all over Florida, in the privacy of their own homes. We dive deep into the issues that are creating anger, hurt, or frustration. I help the couple or individual turn conflict into an opportunity for self-growth. The process is virtually identical to the work done in the office.

Does time heal all? I know we like to think so but unfortunately, it doesn’t always work out that way. Some of us carry our trauma from the past, along the burdens of daily life. Some of us have had recent experiences that are making us feel lost and unsure of the direction we are heading in. Some of us struggle with the families we were born into or the family we’ve created. As humans, we are all searching for guidance, empathy, emotional connections, and someone to listen to our stories. We aspire to achieve our goals, follow our dreams, resolve our issues, and heal our emotional wounds.

Mallory believes that at any stage or age, all people have this in common: we have stories and are created for connection. While life can be amazing and beautiful, there is a deep awareness and experience of brokenness and pain — in ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Mallory believes counseling is an opportunity to enter into your brokenness and to find meaning, redemption, and ultimately healing and wholeness. This therapeutic process requires courage, authenticity, and a willingness to be vulnerable.

Couples often feel stuck and find it difficult to move forward. Life has a way of doing that. We often ask ourselves, "How did we get here?" It could be a host of reasons. Talking to someone can help you identify the things that's affecting your relationship.

What's impossible with man, is possible with God! Call me today.

Counseling is the process of recognizing our pain and hurt (past and present), understanding the effects of that pain and hurt (as it relates to relationships, work, school, etc.), and making the necessary changes to stop the pain and hurt, and also promoting mental and emotional wellness. Psychologist Carl Jung once said, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I chose to become.” With that in mind, the hope and plan is to move towards one’s ideal, true self; moving from feeling stuck to feeling empowered.

Many of us have experienced traumatic situations which have left a negative imprint within us, and consequently feelings of guilt, shame, fear, anxiety, depression and despair. While we can repress the effects of these traumatic events and their accompanying symptoms; it will only be temporary, since failure to process these incidents will generate in us different types of emotional disorders that will rob us of our quality of life.

Understanding trauma & anxiety comes from more than just the words we speak. If simply talking it out is not working, I will listen and help. I welcome the use of mindfulness, mind-body exercises, and creative approaches to work on, not just talking, but embodying the change you want to see.

Through empathy, I strive to understand each client's specific context and unique perspective, and view each counseling relationship as a collaborative endeavor. My personal, educational, and professional life experiences have provided me with a strong foundation of patience and compassion, along with critical knowledge and skills needed to effectively help my clients.

You are looking for connection and belonging. However, you become preoccupied with an ideal self and life that becomes difficult to reach on a daily basis. Then you stop to breathe but it does not feel long enough until again you feel stuck. We are all wired for struggle and it is difficult to believe in our own resilience. You are valued!
