  • If parents are divorced or separated, the second contact must be the other legal parent if they share legal custody.

    Mala does not manage payment arrangements between parents. Parents are responsible for managing payment agreements between themselves.

  • Services of Interest - Psychotherapy

    Services of Interest - Psychotherapy

    (e.g., play therapy, art therapy, relational counseling, individual therapy for youth or adults, parent coaching, executive function coaching)
  • Are you interested in psychotherapy/counseling services?*
  • Psychotherapy

  • Please note that our psychotherapy waitlist for BCN clients is 6+ months long. If you have BCN and would like care sooner, we encourage you to consider private pay at $185/session or higher, or working with a supervised trainee for $50/session when available.
  • ⏱ Reducing your wait: Our in-person appointment slots at 4:00 PM and later have the longest wait times. Being open to virtual sessions or appointments at 3:00 PM or earlier can significantly reduce your wait. 💡 Also worth knowing: Consistent parent coaching can be just as effective as individual child therapy for many concerns — and it can happen during the day, virtually, offering much more flexibility for families.
