Cristen Malia

Cristen Malia is a registered psychotherapist with an MA and a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC), as well as an experienced yoga teacher (ERYT500). She offers a mindfulness-based and human-centered approach to counseling, with the intention of supporting clients in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves, their current life situations, and their relationships.

Together, they create a tailored plan for clients to take actionable steps toward healing. Cristen specializes in working with clients facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma recovery, addiction, grief, and chronic illness. With a passion for blending time-honored practices like yoga and meditation with Western psychology, she creates contemporary therapeutic opportunities that incorporate mindfulness, somatic awareness, motivational interviewing, Gestalt, metaphor, and philosophy. Cristen's goal is to provide an inviting space, compassionate presence, and skillful guidance to support her clients on their healing journeys, helping them navigate the wild ride of life with grace, ease, and compassion.
