Malie Carvalho, LCSW

My clients describe me as:

Working with me feels like you're talking to a friend, who doesn't mind telling you what you need to hear - not just what you want to hear.

Something to know about my approach is:

I'd like to build rapport with you, identify your goals for therapy as well as what types of therapeutic approaches will be best for you. I feel that we need to have a good therapeutic relationship in order for your therapy to be successful.

Together, we will:

talk about the good, the bad and the ugly. We can talk about all of it. Trouble communicating, feeling awkward in social situations, apprehensive about a big step you need to make - let's work together to figure out the best solutions.

I specialize in working with people who:

struggle with life's issues such as Trauma, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, ADD, ASD, Managing stress, relationship issues, familial issues, work-life balance, Bipolar Disorder and everything in between.

I became a therapist because:

I truly like helping others. I want to help you become the best version of yourself. Let's figure out what obstacles you're facing and remove them.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I only offer virtual appointments at this time.
