Maya Mallory

I’m Maya Mallory, LMSW, and I provide compassionate, grounded therapy for adults navigating significant life transitions. I specialize in supporting women during pregnancy, individuals facing difficult reproductive decisions, adults living with disabilities, and those adjusting to major shifts in health, identity, or life stage.

If you’re feeling isolated during pregnancy, overwhelmed by a decision you’ve had to make, or uncertain about how to move forward during a transition, you don’t have to process it alone. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can explore your emotions without judgment and begin building strategies that foster resilience and clarity.

Clients often describe me as caring, thoughtful, safe, relatable, and a great listener with a soothing presence. My goal is to help you feel understood while also equipping you with tools to navigate change with confidence.

I have worked across medical, community-based, and outpatient environments, supporting adults with chronic health conditions, reproductive health concerns, mood disorders, and life-stage transitions.

I commonly work with adults experiencing:

• Anxiety and depression
• Pregnancy-related stress and isolation
• Pregnancy termination and reproductive decision-making
• Chronic illness and disability-related adjustment
• ADHD management
• Grief, loss, and identity shifts
• Stress related to aging and life transitions

My approach is integrative, practical, and strengths-based. I incorporate:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills
• Motivational Interviewing
• Mindfulness and stress management techniques
• Problem-solving therapy
• ADHD-focused strategies
• Emerging somatic practices for holistic support

I believe therapy should be both reflective and skill-building. We will explore what you’re experiencing while also developing concrete tools to help you regulate emotions, manage stress, and navigate decisions more confidently. I emphasize self-advocacy and empowerment, helping you build the capacity to move through challenges with clarity and intention.

In our first session, we’ll focus on understanding what brought you to therapy and what feels most important to address. I’ll ask about your current stressors, relevant history, support systems, and goals so we can begin forming a clear path forward.

You can expect:

• A calm, welcoming environment
• Space to share at your own pace
• Thoughtful questions to clarify your needs
• Initial goal-setting and discussion of next steps

By the end of the session, you should feel heard, supported, and clearer about how therapy can help you navigate your current transition.
