At The Malone Collective, we are dedicated to helping individuals journey toward self-discovery and personal growth. We believe everyone deserves to live a fulfilling and authentic life and that individual therapy can be an incredibly powerful tool in achieving that goal. We view individual trauma therapy as essential to physical, emotional, and spiritual balance and we approach individual therapy with compassion, empathy, and a deep understanding of the human experience. Healing is a collaborative process and that by working with our clients, we can create a safe and supportive environment for exploration and growth.
In our therapy sessions, we prioritize authenticity and vulnerability and encourage our clients to embrace their emotions and explore their deepest fears and desires. By acknowledging and addressing our innermost struggles, we can find the strength and resilience to overcome them and move forward from suffering.
We understand that everyone’s journey is unique and that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why we take a personalized approach to therapy, tailoring our techniques and methods to meet the specific needs of each individual client. Our therapists are highly trained and experienced in a variety of therapeutic modalities. The Malone Collective prides itself on creating a team of professionals we would trust to care for our loved ones.
Brainspotting is a powerful neurobiological approach that locates points in the visual field to access and process trauma held deep within the brain and body. Developed by Dr. David Grand, this innovative therapy recognizes that where we look affects how we feel. By identifying specific eye positions that correlate with internal emotional activation, we can access the brain’s natural capacity for self-healing.
During a Brainspotting session, our trained therapists guide clients to notice subtle shifts in their body and emotions while maintaining focus on a specific point in their visual field. This focused mindfulness allows the nervous system to release and reorganize around traumatic experiences, often reaching areas that traditional talk therapy cannot access. The process honors the deep connection between mind and body, facilitating profound healing at a neurological level.
This gentle yet effective approach is particularly beneficial for those who have experienced trauma, anxiety, or performance blocks. By working directly with the body’s felt sense and the brain’s self-scanning mechanisms, Brainspotting offers a path to resolution that respects each individual’s innate wisdom and healing capacity.
A type of psychotherapy that focuses on helping individuals identify and change negative or unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors contributing to emotional or behavioral difficulties. CBT is based on the idea that how we think about situations influences how we feel and behave and that changing our thoughts can lead to changes in our emotions and behaviors.
CBT is a structured and goal-oriented approach to therapy, typically delivered in a short-term format, intending to help individuals develop coping skills and strategies they can use daily. CBT typically involves identifying and challenging negative or distorted thinking patterns, learning to recognize and manage emotions, and developing new behaviors and habits that are more adaptive and functional.
A type of psychotherapy originally developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan in the 1980s. It is a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral treatment designed to help people who struggle with complex emotional and behavioral problems, including borderline personality disorder, suicidal ideation, self-harm, substance abuse, eating disorders, and other mood disorders.
DBT is based on the idea that some people are more vulnerable to intense emotional experiences and that these individuals may have difficulty regulating their emotions, managing distress, and maintaining stable relationships. DBT aims to assist clients in learning new coping skills, building healthy relationships, and improving their overall quality of life.
Existential psychotherapy invites clients to confront life’s fundamental questions and embrace the freedom and responsibility of human existence. At The Malone Collective, we recognize that anxiety often stems not from pathology but from the courage required to face life’s inherent uncertainties. This approach honors the search for meaning, purpose, and authentic living in a world that offers no predetermined answers.
We explore universal themes such as mortality, freedom, isolation, and meaninglessness—not to induce despair but to catalyze profound personal transformation. By acknowledging these existential realities, clients often discover a renewed sense of vitality and purpose. The therapy process becomes a philosophical journey that examines how we create meaning, make choices, and take responsibility for authoring our own lives.
Through existential work, clients develop the capacity to embrace uncertainty, find meaning in suffering, and live with greater intentionality. We support individuals in moving beyond merely surviving to actively creating a life aligned with their deepest values, even in the face of life’s inevitable challenges and limitations.
Humanistic psychotherapy embraces the fundamental belief in each person’s inherent capacity for growth, self-actualization, and positive change. At The Malone Collective, we approach this modality with deep respect for the whole person, recognizing that you are the expert on your own life. Our role is to provide the conditions necessary for your natural tendency toward healing and growth to flourish.
This approach emphasizes present-moment awareness, personal responsibility, and the pursuit of meaning and authenticity. Rather than focusing solely on pathology or past wounds, humanistic therapy celebrates human potential and supports clients in becoming their most genuine selves. We create a therapeutic environment characterized by unconditional positive regard, empathic understanding, and authentic presence.
Through this person-centered approach, clients develop greater self-awareness, learn to trust their inner wisdom, and cultivate the courage to live according to their deepest values. The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a catalyst for change, offering a corrective emotional experience that enhances self-esteem and fosters meaningful connections with others.
A type of psychotherapy that focuses on the relationship between different parts of an individual’s internal world. In IFS, it is believed that every person has multiple parts, each with its own unique characteristics, feelings, and desires. These parts can sometimes conflict with each other, and this can lead to emotional distress, problematic behaviors, and a sense of feeling stuck.
IFS therapy aims to help individuals understand and integrate these different parts of themselves, so they can lead more fulfilling and authentic lives. This is done through identifying and communicating with different parts, learning to understand their needs and motivations, and ultimately helping these parts work together more harmoniously and cooperatively.
Object relations therapy explores how our earliest relationships shape our current ways of connecting with ourselves and others. This psychodynamic approach recognizes that the internalized representations of our primary caregivers continue to influence our adult relationships, often outside our conscious awareness. At The Malone Collective, we help clients understand these deep-seated patterns to create healthier, more fulfilling connections.
Through careful exploration of past and present relationships, we identify recurring themes and unconscious templates that may be limiting personal growth. Object relations work examines how we internalize others, split experiences into “good” and “bad,” and project our internal world onto current relationships. This understanding provides a roadmap for healing relational wounds and developing more integrated ways of being with others.
Our therapists guide clients in recognizing how early attachment experiences created internal working models of relationships. By bringing these patterns into consciousness and experiencing a reparative relationship with the therapist, clients can update outdated relational templates and develop the capacity for deeper intimacy and authentic connection.
A form of talk therapy based on the psychoanalysis theories developed by Sigmund Freud and his followers. Psychodynamic therapy aims to help individuals gain insight into their unconscious thoughts and feelings and work through unresolved emotional conflicts that may be causing psychological distress.
During a typical psychodynamic therapy session, the therapist and client converse about the client’s life experiences, emotions, and relationships. The therapist helps the client identify patterns in their behavior and relationships and explore underlying issues contributing to their current problems. Through this exploration, the client may better understand their unconscious motivations and how they influence their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Talk therapy forms the foundation of psychological healing through the simple yet profound act of verbal expression. At The Malone Collective, we recognize that giving voice to our inner experiences can be transformative. Through structured conversation with a skilled therapist, clients explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a confidential, non-judgmental space.
This collaborative process helps individuals gain clarity about their challenges, identify patterns that may be holding them back, and develop new perspectives on their experiences. Talk therapy provides a unique opportunity for self-reflection that is difficult to achieve alone. By articulating struggles and aspirations aloud, clients often discover insights that have remained hidden beneath the surface of conscious awareness.
Our therapists create an atmosphere of safety and trust where authentic expression is encouraged. Through careful listening and thoughtful response, we help clients navigate complex emotions, process difficult experiences, and build the communication skills essential for healthy relationships and personal growth.
A psychotherapy treatment developed to help people overcome traumatic experiences. It involves a structured approach to therapy that combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy with eye movements or other forms of rhythmic, bilateral stimulation.
During an EMDR session, the therapist will ask the person to focus on a traumatic memory or a distressing thought while providing some form of bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping. The idea is that this bilateral stimulation will help the person process the memory differently, reducing the emotional intensity of the memory and allowing the person to move forward from it.
An evidence-based therapeutic approach that emphasizes the importance of individual experiences and perspectives. It is a form of talk therapy that enables individuals to examine their stories about their lives, relationships, and emotions. By understanding the narratives that they create, individuals can gain a new perspective on their experiences and move towards healing and growth.
At The Malone Collective, we use Narrative Therapy to help individuals with various concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. Our therapists collaborate with clients to explore their personal stories, challenge negative self-talk and limiting beliefs, and create new, empowering narratives. This approach can lead to greater self-awareness, improved relationships, and an overall sense of well-being.
One of the key aspects of Narrative Therapy is the idea of externalizing problems. This means separating the problem from the person and recognizing that the problem is not a fixed part of the individual’s identity. By externalizing the problem, individuals can see it more objectively and develop strategies to manage or overcome it. This approach can be particularly effective for those struggling with addiction, as it allows them to see their substance abuse as a problem separate from their true selves.
