BASED IN AUSTIN, TX • VIRTUAL THROUGHOUT TEXAS
holding space for:
-
Because your work requires unique boundaries and support in order to be sustainable, and you deserve the same care you offer to others.
-
Because you are worthy of safety, healing, and a compassionate place to reclaim your story. You have the power to break free of the limits and expectations that others have placed on you. You deserve to live an authentic life, based on what matters to you - whether that includes spirituality, religion, or neither.
-
Because it is a gift to be tender. There is great power in understanding, harnessing, and caring for your softness.
-
Because you deserve fulfilling and safe relationships. It is possible to navigate complicated family dynamics, tend to generational trauma, and mend relational wounds. It is also possible to build and maintain relationships that empower and support you.
-
Because sometimes, the world just really feels like a dumpster fire. Your fear and sadness is a sign of your heartbeat for the world. Both grief and hope can coexist.
-
Because you are entitled to a space that is not only affirming of, but also openly advocates for who you are. If you are newly out or in the process of transitioning, you deserve a safe place to get to know and embody your true self. And if you are a loved one navigating a partner or child newly out or transitioning, you also deserve support throughout the process.
Hi, there! I’m Mallory, and welcome to Embodied Art Therapy & Counseling
Embodiment means wholeness, presence, connection, and attunement. It is internal and mutual belonging. It is integrating all of the parts of yourself as one whole; worthy and deserving of care, attention, and space.
You have the power to come home to yourself; to revere in your unique magic, and tap into inner and collective knowledge. To hold your past experiences with care and compassion. To imagine and create a future that honors your whole self.
At Embodied Art Therapy & Counseling, it is my goal to provide a space where you can heal, grow, and come home to who you are. I strive to make therapy a safe and affirming place for people of all backgrounds and identities. Embodied is a liberation-focused, LGBTQIA2S+ affirming, fat positive/HAES-aligned, sex positive, neurodiversity affirming, disability justice informed, and spiritually & culturally responsive practice.
With authenticity, compassion, creativity, and a sprinkle of humor, I’m here to support you. You don’t have to do this alone.
