Real change is closer than you think
It never ceases to amaze me how powerful the human spirit is – even in the face of extreme challenges, distress and trauma. Through our work together, we can find new ways of protecting the self, while also realizing the amazing capacity of our brain and body.

Sadie Mallon, MSW, RSW
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 figure things out and start healing. My own journey has fueled my passion for this work, as I understand what it’s like to be a client, and that empathy guides me in helping others find their way.
I have a Master’s degree in Social Work and a Fine Arts degree. When working with children, I love bringing creativity into our work together. Art can be a powerful way to help children express big feelings, learn new skills, build confidence, and navigate challenges. By combining creative approaches with evidence-based therapy, I help kids explore their inner world in a way that feels engaging and safe.
With adult clients, I use an eclectic approach, tailoring therapy to each person’s unique needs, while drawing from Internal Family Systems and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my job is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and understood. Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to walk alongside you.
