About Malka Adler
Sometimes life feels overwhelming, especially when you’re navigating motherhood, postpartum changes, or the emotional challenges of infertility. Whether you’re supporting an anxious child, managing perfectionism, or coping with big life transitions, I’m here to help you find steadiness, clarity, and a way forward that feels right for you.
I work with teens, young adults, and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, phobias, body image concerns, and the stress that comes with major transitions like divorce, becoming a new mom, or facing infertility. My approach is calm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental; I create a safe space where you can honestly express what you’re feeling without pressure to be perfect.
Using evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), along with mindfulness and breathing techniques, I help clients slow down and literally catch their breath during difficult moments. Together, we’ll explore your emotions, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build lasting change at a pace that honors your journey.
I believe therapy is about steady, meaningful shifts, not quick fixes. As a mom myself, I understand the unique pressures you face, and I’m committed to supporting you with warmth and grounded care.
Outside of work, I love baking sourdough bread for my kids and taking quiet walks in nature to recharge. I bring that same calm energy into our sessions so you can feel supported, understood, and empowered.
If you’re ready to reconnect with your strength and move forward with more peace, I’m here to walk alongside you.
