Getting to know Malhia Best
Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to hold everything together while also figuring out who you are and what you truly need. I'm passionate about supporting young adults and adults as they navigate identity, relationships, and major life transitions, with a particular commitment to affirming care for those within the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply unsure of where to begin, you don't have to face it alone. I'd be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward building a life that feels more aligned, authentic, and fulfilling.
What should a new client know about working with you?
DISCLAIMER: not accepting Medicare or Medicaid plans at this time.
My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own experiences with identity and mental health, experiences that deepened my commitment to creating a space that is affirming and inclusive for others. I believe that growth comes from both insight and action, and I'm here to walk alongside you as you navigate that process.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that healing happens when you feel safe enough to show up as your full, authentic self. Together, we'll explore the patterns, thoughts, and emotions that have you feeling stuck, while also building practical tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your own story. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), always tailoring our work to what feels most relevant and supportive for you.
Above all, I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. Therapy doesn't have to feel intimidating or clinical. It can, and should, feel like a place where you are met with honesty, connection, and care as you begin to make sense of your experiences and move toward the changes that matter most to you.
