I have been working with Malene for 2 years now and I’m so grateful for her insight and understanding. Malene is compassionate, direct, and attentive. She has helped me find healthy coping strategies for numerous issues and throughout our time together, I’ve learned to be proud of my accomplishments and confident in my decisions. I always feel heard during my sessions with Malene and log off feeling affirmed, cared for, and like I have the tools I need to get through a situation. Thank you, Malene!

My time with Malene has been exceptional. For almost 2 years she has helped and supported me through some of the lowest moments and also there to cheer me on during my high moments. She makes me feel at ease when sharing about my issues and provides not just excellent advices but lessons that I can apply to improve my anxiety and control my triggers. I am greatly appreciative of Malene for not just listening but understanding the world that I came from and am living in and the complexities of the issues that I struggle with. It was a tremendous comfort to know that on a bad day, I could write to her and that she is there and would get back to me. I am forever grateful for this wonderful experience with Malene and the relationship we have.

Malene is masterful as a counselor. I *trust* her. I can give no higher praise than that. In order for this to work, you must be comfortable discussing what can be very personal issues. Comfort can only exist in an environment of trust. I trust Malene, therefore I recommend Malene.

I truly enjoy speaking with Malene. She listens so well and uses our conversations and what she has learned about me and those around me to further our therapy sessions. I always feel like I’m speaking to a friend and our sessions seem to go by so quickly as I am so engaged and comfortable talking with her.
