Today is World Mental Health Day, and we want to remind you that your life matters not just today, but every single day. Even when things feel heavy or hopeless, please don’t give up. You’ve already made it through so much more than you give yourself credit for and that strength is still within you. The hard moments don’t define your story they’re just part of it. You are not alone, even if it feels that way. You are needed, valued and loved more deeply than you may ever realize💙

Meet the Team Monday!

Sadie Mallon, RSW, MSW

Years ago, I was a client at my first therapy appointment, and looking back, I’m so thankful I took that step. I felt completely lost at the time, but therapy helped me begin to heal and find my way. My own journey fuels my passion for this work and guides me in supporting children, teens, and families with empathy and understanding.

I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and a Fine Arts degree, and I love bringing creativity into my work with children. Art and play can be powerful ways for kids to express big feelings, build confidence, learn new skills, and navigate challenges. By combining creative approaches with evidence-based therapy, I help children explore their inner world in ways that feel engaging, safe, and empowering.

My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and non-judgmental. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, play-based, and art-based therapies to meet each child’s unique needs. I also work closely with parents and caregivers, offering tools and insights to help them better understand their child’s experiences and support stronger, more compassionate connections at home.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to helping children and families feel more connected, compassionate, and empowered as they navigate life’s challenges together.

✨ What is your why for therapy? ✨

In EMDR therapy, we often start with your why.
➡️ Why are you here?
➡️ What do you hope will feel different?
➡️ What parts of your story feel heavy that you’re ready to put down?

Your why could be wanting better sleep, fewer triggers, or more peace in your daily life. It could be breaking free from past experiences that still show up in the present. Or it could simply be wanting to feel more you again.

With EMDR, we don’t just talk about your why—we work with your brain and body to help you get there. 💫

👉 So, what’s your why?
