Mal Horein
Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW
Everyone faces challenges in life, and at times, it is helpful to have extra support to navigate them. It is my hope that you will reach out for that support. As a Licensed Master Social worker (LMSW) with 10 years of experience, I have worked alongside adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, psychosis, and identity-related concerns.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process. I value shared decision-making and encourage open communication to ensure our work aligns with your needs. My goal is to assist you in identifying, working toward, and achieving your personal objectives. To do this, I utilize skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
