About

Mallory provides psychotherapy services, Somatic Experiencing, Divine Mother Energy Work, and Reiki Services. Mallory is a Certified Divine Mother Energy Practitioner and Certified Reiki Master. She earned her Master’s Degree in Social Work from Washington University’s George Warren Brown School of Social Work in St. Louis, MO in 2018. Prior to working at Brave Embodiment Counseling, she worked for 8 years in outpatient, private practice, in-home, emergency department, transitional program, and hospital inpatient settings providing case management, evaluation, and psychotherapy services to clients including adolescents, young adults, adults, families, and groups. Most recently, she was employed at a University Counseling Center where she provided individual and group therapy, mental health/diagnostic assessments, crisis intervention, and intake assessments. Additionally, Mallory was also most recently employed at a private practice, STL DBT, LLC, where she managed all incoming call and emails to this private practice, conducted all incoming intake evaluations, and co-led a weekly Adult DBT Skills Group.

In my psychotherapy work, she uses collaborative, strengths-based, and person-centered approaches to incorporate mindfulness, body awareness, and trauma-informed interventions. She also frequently draws upon DBT, CBT, feminist, and attachment-focused theories to guide her work. One of her highest priorities is to cultivate a space that feels warm, inviting, empathetic, and non-judgmental so that you may feel safe enough to stretch into showing up for your healing process. Mallory truly believes that you are the expert of you and you have an internal reservoir of all the tools, knowledge, and wisdom to answer the questions you seek- but there are often blocks that inhibit accessing that information. Her goal is to work with you to develop awareness around these blocks, equip you with skills to manage, challenge, and dismantle these blocks, and feel empowered in and grounded in your sense of self. Mallory strives to create spaces where it feels safe for you to show up as you are, be seen and validated in your authentic self, learn ways to connect to your authentic self, let go of stories and coping mechanisms that no longer serve you, and help equip you with new tools for you to manage life’s stressors in healthier, more skillful ways. Additionally, as you engage in this work, the hope is that you are also learning ways to see yourself, support yourself, show up for yourself, and feel empowered in your experience.

In her Somatic Experiencing, Divine Mother Energy Work, and Reiki Services with clients, you honor the body as a powerful center of intelligence to guide the process of healing in our work together. Through working with your nervous system we attend to and attune to what is alive in your energy system and work together to discover pathways for expression for energy that has been blocked, stuck, stagnant, or suppressed in your system. You will invite these blocks to find a way to be healed and released through breath work, sound, movement, and healing touch. Every session looks different and this can be a great method of treatment in tangent with psychotherapy services or for clients that have struggled or felt stuck in more traditional talk therapy modalities.

Thank you for taking the courageous step to explore ways to show up for yourself and support your healing process. Mallory is more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the variety of services she is able to offer and discuss which may feel most resonant for you on your healing journey. Mallory will look forward to walking alongside you wherever you are on your path.
