Atlas Counseling & Psychotherapy Services

Children don’t always have the words to explain what they’re feeling—but they do know how to play. Through toys, stories, art, and imagination, children communicate their worries, experiences, and needs in ways that feel natural and safe to them.

Play therapy honors this language. It creates a supportive space where children can express themselves, build emotional awareness, and develop healthy coping skills with the guidance of a trained therapist.

At Atlas Counseling & Psychotherapy Services, we believe every child deserves to be heard and understood. Our play therapy services are designed to meet children where they are and support their growth with compassion and care.

Supporting your mental health doesn’t have to mean big, overwhelming changes.

Sometimes it’s the gentle, consistent practices—rest, connection, movement, and routine—that help us feel more grounded and steady over time.

At Atlas Counseling & Psychotherapy Services, we believe caring for your mental health is a vital part of overall well-being. Whether you’re building new habits, navigating a difficult season, or simply looking for extra support, you don’t have to do it alone.

We’re here to walk alongside you—with compassion, respect, and care.

Meet Mallory!

Mallory is passionate about working with children and adolescents, meeting them exactly where they are and supporting them through life’s challenges. She creates a warm, trusting space where people can feel safe, understood, and comfortable being themselves—especially if therapy has felt intimidating in the past.

At Atlas, we believe the therapeutic process should feel supportive, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection. Feeling comfortable with your therapist matters, and we’re honored to provide care that helps reduce stigma and make mental health support more approachable for families in our community.

Self-care doesn’t look the same for everyone, and there’s no “right” way to practice it. What feels supportive for one person may look very different for someone else. Don’t forget to show yourself care, too — here are a few different ways people practice self-love based on what feels most meaningful to them.

At Atlas Counseling & Psychotherapy Services, we believe care should be personalized, flexible, and centered on what actually helps you feel more like yourself.

Healing doesn’t follow a timeline, and it doesn’t need to be rushed. Everyone’s process looks different, and moving at your own pace is not a setback — it’s part of the work.

Therapy can offer a supportive space to slow down, reflect, and move forward in a way that feels right for you, and that’s exactly what we strive to provide at Atlas Counseling & Psychotherapy Services.

Perfection isn’t the goal. Progress is.

Therapy isn’t about doing things “right” or fixing yourself — it’s about taking small, meaningful steps forward, even when the path isn’t linear. Support can help make that progress feel more possible.

So grateful to be part of a team that truly shows up for one another. 💙

At Atlas, collaboration, care, and connection aren’t just things we talk about in sessions—they’re part of how we support each other as clinicians, too. We believe that when therapists feel supported, clients feel it as well. This is the kind of community we’re proud to be part of.
