We could hear our 17 year old son talking quite a bit throughout the session which makes us very happy. We couldn't make out what he was saying but we are thrilled that he's able to open up and keep a conversation going for these sessions. Thank you for being so amazing. We are extremely pleased so far.

Helping others navigate stress so they can start to feel like themselves again.

I am deeply passionate about helping children, adolescents, and young adults navigate life's challenges. While I take my clients and their experiences very seriously, I don't believe every session has to feel heavy. When it feels appropriate, I enjoy using humor to help clients feel more at ease and remind them that healing can include moments of lightness. I strive to create a warm, genuine, and supportive environment where clients feel heard, accepted, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

Maliya does a great job connecting with my daughter and focusing on her needs. She is my daughters second try at a therapist and it was a match right away. She is also great at keeping the parent involved, bringing me in when needed. If I share an event that I think is important to discuss she ensures to incorporate it. And my favorite part is that she is treating her holistically how to protect her nervous system.

I am a compassionate, bilingual (English/Spanish), culturally responsive therapist. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where children feel heard, understood, and empowered. For families who desire it, I am able to thoughtfully integrate Christian faith and biblical principles into the counseling process, recognizing the important role spirituality can play in healing, forgiveness, and personal growth.

Amanda was excellent. Shes a great listener, asked thoughtful questions, and handled my son's rapid topic changes well. Talking to her before school started made a HUGE positive difference in his excitement and confidence to walk in to class with a smile on his face.
