About the practice.

Mallory is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with ten years of clinical work behind her, mostly with families and kids in the foster-care, kinship, and adoption space. She's PCIT-trained, EMDR-trained, and committed to the kind of plain-spoken honesty that doesn't talk down to anyone — child or adult.

She is the only clinician in the practice. The brand says "we" because the practice is the practice, not the person — but if you book a session, you're booking with Mallory.

We believe trauma is what the nervous system did to survive something the conscious mind couldn't manage. We believe attachment is the soil all of that gets planted in. The work is to make room for what happened, give the nervous system a chance to learn that it's over, and let the person — kid or adult — build a life that isn't only running from the hurt.

We use evidence-based approaches: PCIT for parent–child work, EMDR and other trauma-focused modalities for adults and older kids. We don't promise quick fixes. We do promise we'll tell you honestly what we think the work will need.

Children, teens, and adults. Trauma across the lifespan — early-childhood trauma, attachment injuries, complex PTSD, grief, foster-and-adoption-related challenges, and the slow-burn effects of having had to be too tough too young.

We take IEHP, UHC, Optum, Kaiser Northern California, and private pay. We're an in-network provider, not a fee-for-service practice that grudgingly accepts insurance — we want the families that need us to actually be able to come.
