Hi, I'm Nyela Malone, LCPC. I approach everyone with genuine positive regard. I specialize in Depression, Anxiety, and adjusting to life on life's terms. By focusing on what individuals can do and helping them harness their inherent strengths, this approach facilitates positive change and promotes overall well-being.
My approach
Strength-based treatment works for adults because it empowers them, builds resilience, increases motivation and hope, enhances problem-solving and goal achievement, provides individualized and holistic care, fosters collaborative relationships, and reduces stigma.
My focus
I've been fortunate to work with some amazing Millennials and Gen Xers. I am proud to be LGBTQIA+ allied. I work best with clients who feel like they need to make a change but do not know where or how to start. For those in this stage, I help them explore their motivations and clarify their goals.
My communication style
Clients have told me that I have a conversational tone. I want to make the session personable and professional. I approach goal setting by providing a safe and non-judgmental space, I encourage them to reflect on their desires and identify the benefits of making changes. I help them address any ambivalence and develop a clear vision for their future. Once they are ready to move forward, I offer continuous support and practical strategies to navigate the change process. I assist them in building on their strengths, maintaining motivation, and overcoming obstacles.
My journey to mental healthcare
It brings me joy to help someone recognize their own power and potential.
My goals for you
My goal is to ensure they feel supported and empowered throughout their journey towards a better version of themselves.
My first session with you
In the first session, I create a welcoming and safe environment to build rapport and trust. I begin with open-ended questions to encourage the client to share their story and current challenges. I listen actively, showing empathy and understanding, while gathering essential information about their background, including their personal history, relationships, work, and any previous mental health experiences. I explore their reasons for seeking therapy and their goals. I validate their feelings and experiences throughout the session, ensuring they feel heard and respected.
