Teens today feel MORE Depressed, Stressed Out + Overwhelmed.

You are Not alone!

Working with a Mental Health Therapist can help you control your feelings and heal past hurtful, painful experiences.

REMEMBER HOW AWKWARD, OVERWHELMING + STRESSFUL THE TEEN YEARS CAN BE?

(and that was before the wild curveballs 2020 threw at us!)

Teens today want to feel unapologetically happy, secure in their relationships, and confident in themselves- like those other kids. You know- the ones who are always comfortable in any social situation.

Teens today want good friends - the kind you know you can rely on - the Veronica to their Betty.

But how can you know who you can trust in an age of screenshots, selfies, and social media filters?

IT CAN BE HARD NOT TO EXPECT THE WORST WHEN PEOPLE KEEP LETTING YOU DOWN- EVEN YOURSELF!

I am SO tired of watching teens struggle + feeling stuck in toxic friendships, overwhelming emotions, and low self-esteem. Aren’t you?

You Deserve Better!

Teens have trusted me as their Mental Health Therapist since 2014!

I’d love to share their direct words and experiences with you here, but we highly value and respect your privacy and confidentiality as a pretty standard and important part of the therapy process.

Hi, I’m Mallory!

my pronouns are she/hers and I’m here to help you improve your mental health.

One thing you need to know about me is I am NOT your typical homework-giving, cardigan-wearing, head-bobbing therapist. I grew up in Jersey so you can expect that I’ll be clear, direct + honest with you.

I believe CLEAR IS KIND!


I won’t tell you what to do, but I will teach you how to think for yourself.

I’ll only offer my feedback after I ask your permission of course. And if you say no, or not yet, I’ll respect that.

Good self-care is a must-have for any healing journey

+ I practice what I preach.

My self-care routine includes starting and ending my day with a walk around the neighborhood with my pup Princess (I know! I know- she came with the name, but it suits her perfectly!)

How about we unlock the confidence and happiness within you together?

Mental Health Therapy

can help teens learn WHAT they’re feeling

+ how to EXPRESS it safely.

When one teen learns the skills they need to hang in there and communicate their feelings more effectively, through counseling, we inadvertently help all those they engage with on a regular or even one-time basis.

And yes- this includes relationships with friends, siblings, teachers, and even their parents :)

In order to maximize this impact, I continue to share free YouTube videos, and also offer a variety of guided self-help resources and programs.

With over 5k YouTube subscribers, and a library of 300+ videos, here’s a preview of what you’ll get when you work with me:
