Are you struggling with anxiety? Have you been experiencing obsessive thoughts or having frequent panic attacks?

My name is Michelle Malloy and I am a licensed psychotherapist in Orange County. I have over twenty years of experience working with individuals, children, adolescents, and families.

HELP IS AVAILABLE

**Not accepting new clients at this time, waiting list available**

I work actively with clients to help them create change. I seek to provide an environment which enhances your understanding of yourself, as I believe that people can and do make important and positive changes based on this insight and by the process of seeking to acquire it.

Therapy is a special opportunity to be understood by another person. When we feel understood by another, we are more able to untangle the issues that lead us into treatment in the first place. This can help us to develop ourselves and our lives more fully.

I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exposure Response Prevention with a warm, genuine and collaborative style to help people work towards change. I have specialized training in managing anxiety disorders and have graduated from the general, child, and advanced BTTI programs from the OCD Foundation, allowing me to offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exposure Response Prevention for OCD and related anxiety disorders. I am certified in Maternal Mental Health from Postpartum Support International for managing Perinatal Mood Disorders making me especially qualified in treating Maternal Mental Health and Perinatal OCD, Anxiety, and Depression. I am also EMDR trained with a specialization in Maternal Mental Health. I am also SPACE trained to assist parents in learning how to manage their children’s anxiety more effectively.
