About

Welcomes to Find A Therapist! My name is Malia and I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed only in Colorado and Texas. Just a quick friendly reminder of licensure limitations- If your home base is in either state listed above, therapy services with me are available. If you do not live in those states or live internationally, unfortunately I am unable to provide services. If you are currently residing in CO/TX but planning to move out of state, please be mindful of how this may impact your current BH prepaid package/services.

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 11 years and specialize in working with clients on a variety of areas such anxiety, depression, addictions, self esteem, relationship issues, divorce and more. In our sessions, I 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, I work 1:1 with clients from a relational model where we focus on how to best support you within your relationships both personal and professional. We will talk about boundaries, work/life balance, values, and communication to name a few topics. 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.

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!
