At The Malone Collective, we are dedicated to helping individuals journey toward self-discovery and personal growth. We believe everyone deserves to live a fulfilling and authentic life and that individual therapy can be an incredibly powerful tool in achieving that goal. We view individual trauma therapy as essential to physical, emotional, and spiritual balance and we approach individual therapy with compassion, empathy, and a deep understanding of the human experience. Healing is a collaborative process and that by working with our clients, we can create a safe and supportive environment for exploration and growth.

In our therapy sessions, we prioritize authenticity and vulnerability and encourage our clients to embrace their emotions and explore their deepest fears and desires. By acknowledging and addressing our innermost struggles, we can find the strength and resilience to overcome them and move forward from suffering.

We understand that everyone’s journey is unique and that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why we take a personalized approach to therapy, tailoring our techniques and methods to meet the specific needs of each individual client. Our therapists are highly trained and experienced in a variety of therapeutic modalities. The Malone Collective prides itself on creating a team of professionals we would trust to care for our loved ones.

The Malone Collective offers the following services and modalities of trauma therapy and treatment:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on helping individuals identify and change negative or unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors contributing to emotional or behavioral difficulties. CBT is based on the idea that how we think about situations influences how we feel and behave and that changing our thoughts can lead to changes in our emotions and behaviors.

CBT is a structured and goal-oriented approach to therapy, typically delivered in a short-term format, intending to help individuals develop coping skills and strategies they can use daily. CBT typically involves identifying and challenging negative or distorted thinking patterns, learning to recognize and manage emotions, and developing new behaviors and habits that are more adaptive and functional.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of psychotherapy originally developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan in the 1980s. It is a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral treatment designed to help people who struggle with complex emotional and behavioral problems, including borderline personality disorder, suicidal ideation, self-harm, substance abuse, eating disorders, and other mood disorders.

DBT is based on the idea that some people are more vulnerable to intense emotional experiences and that these individuals may have difficulty regulating their emotions, managing distress, and maintaining stable relationships. DBT aims to assist clients in learning new coping skills, building healthy relationships, and improving their overall quality of life.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on the relationship between different parts of an individual's internal world. In IFS, it is believed that every person has multiple parts, each with its own unique characteristics, feelings, and desires. These parts can sometimes conflict with each other, and this can lead to emotional distress, problematic behaviors, and a sense of feeling stuck.

IFS therapy aims to help individuals understand and integrate these different parts of themselves, so they can lead more fulfilling and authentic lives. This is done through identifying and communicating with different parts, learning to understand their needs and motivations, and ultimately helping these parts work together more harmoniously and cooperatively.

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a form of therapy developed by Dr. Peter Levine that focuses on helping individuals overcome trauma's physical and emotional effects. The approach is based on the premise that the body stores traumatic memories and experiences, and that these experiences can be released through physical sensations and movements.

Somatic therapy is a broader term encompassing a range of therapeutic approaches that emphasize the connection between the mind and body. Somatic therapy aims to help individuals become more aware of the physical sensations, emotions, and movements associated with their thoughts and experiences. By exploring and addressing the somatic aspects of their experiences, individuals can develop greater insight, resilience, and healing.

Some examples of somatic therapy techniques include mindfulness, bodywork, biofeedback, and breathwork. These techniques can be used in conjunction with traditional talk therapy to help individuals process and integrate their experiences.

Psychodynamic Therapy (& Psychoanalysis) is a form of talk therapy based on the psychoanalysis theories developed by Sigmund Freud and his followers. Psychodynamic therapy aims to help individuals gain insight into their unconscious thoughts and feelings and work through unresolved emotional conflicts that may be causing psychological distress.

During a typical psychodynamic therapy session, the therapist and client converse about the client's life experiences, emotions, and relationships. The therapist helps the client identify patterns in their behavior and relationships and explore underlying issues contributing to their current problems. Through this exploration, the client may better understand their unconscious motivations and how they influence their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment developed to help people overcome traumatic experiences. It involves a structured approach to therapy that combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy with eye movements or other forms of rhythmic, bilateral stimulation.

During an EMDR session, the therapist will ask the person to focus on a traumatic memory or a distressing thought while providing some form of bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping. The idea is that this bilateral stimulation will help the person process the memory differently, reducing the emotional intensity of the memory and allowing the person to move forward from it.

Narrative Therapy is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that emphasizes the importance of individual experiences and perspectives. It is a form of talk therapy that enables individuals to examine their stories about their lives, relationships, and emotions. By understanding the narratives that they create, individuals can gain a new perspective on their experiences and move towards healing and growth.

At The Malone Collective, we use Narrative Therapy to help individuals with various concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. Our therapists collaborate with clients to explore their personal stories, challenge negative self-talk and limiting beliefs, and create new, empowering narratives. This approach can lead to greater self-awareness, improved relationships, and an overall sense of well-being.

One of the key aspects of Narrative Therapy is the idea of externalizing problems. This means separating the problem from the person and recognizing that the problem is not a fixed part of the individual's identity. By externalizing the problem, individuals can see it more objectively and develop strategies to manage or overcome it. This approach can be particularly effective for those struggling with addiction, as it allows them to see their substance abuse as a problem separate from their true selves.

Solution-Focused Therapy is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and building on a person's strengths and resources rather than dwelling on their problems or weaknesses. It is an evidence-based approach that aims to help individuals and families achieve their goals by creating a vision of a positive future and identifying the steps needed to get there. Solution-focused therapy aims to help individuals and families become more self-sufficient and confident in their ability to solve problems and create positive change in their lives. It can be used to address a wide range of issues, including relationship problems, anxiety, depression, addiction, and behavioral challenges.
