Mallyss Day

Mallyssa C. Day, MSW, LCSW “Mallyss”

Hi, I’m Mallyss—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience walking alongside people as they work through life’s challenges and transitions.

I earned my master’s in Social Work from Western New Mexico University and my bachelor’s in Adult Mental Health Rehabilitation and Addictions Counseling from the University of Maine at Augusta. I’m a lifelong learner, a straight shooter, and someone who genuinely believes that healing begins by meeting people exactly where they are.

In my practice, I work with young adults and mature adults navigating everything from anxiety, depression, and burnout to low self-esteem, relationship struggles, grief, and major life changes. Therapy with me is grounded, direct, and deeply compassionate. I show up as a real person, and I create a space where you can too, without judgment or pressure to be anyone but yourself.

My approach is informed by a career spent in the trenches:

• Working with adults in group homes living with intellectual disabilities and serious mental illness

• Providing support to individuals experiencing homelessness

• Managing crises and co-occurring disorders

• Advocating for clients in systems that often overlook them

I’m here to help you sort through the noise, reconnect with your strengths, and take meaningful steps forward—whatever that looks like for you.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just need someone to talk to who gets it, I’m ready when you are.

My approach is honest, grounded, and client-centered. I meet people where they are—no judgment, no pretense. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation: respectful, supportive, but also challenging in the ways that help you grow.

I bring humor when it fits, directness when it’s needed, and compassion always.

My background includes over 25 years of experience working with adults in residential treatment, crisis intervention, community mental health, and private practice. I specialize in working with people who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, self-esteem issues, and major life transitions.

In our sessions, you can expect a mix of practical strategies and deeper exploration. We’ll focus on what matters to you—whether that’s managing stress better, improving relationships, processing past experiences, or just learning how to feel more like yourself again.

This is your space. I’m here to walk with you through the hard stuff and help you come out stronger on the other side.

I create an environment where you don’t have to filter yourself. Come as you are—messy, uncertain, angry, numb, hopeful, all of it is welcome here.

My goal is for you to walk away from our sessions feeling more empowered and more connected to yourself. We’ll work on building insight, increasing emotional regulation, improving communication, setting boundaries, and shifting unhelpful patterns. We’ll also develop practical tools you can use outside of therapy to manage stress, cope with triggers, and move toward your goals.

You can expect me to be present, honest, and actively engaged. I’ll challenge you when it helps and support you when it’s needed. You won’t be doing this work alone—I’m in it with you.

Progress won’t always be linear, but it will be yours—and I’ll help you recognize it, even when it’s subtle.
