Getting to know Malinda Thomas

Hi, I'm Malinda Thomas, a dually licensed master's clinical mental health and substance abuse therapist. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands. My counseling style interweaves solution-focused, acceptance and commitment, relapse prevention, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I’ve worked with individuals and groups through various levels of mental health illness and substance abuse. My approach My therapeutic approach provides acceptance commitment and cognitive behavioral-based psychotherapy to assist clients in discovering their strengths, values, and support systems. Through this process, I aim to help clients enhance a healthy lifestyle while supporting their mental health and well-being. My focus I am dedicated to helping adults 18-65 plus with mood disorders, self-destructive behaviors, anxiety, stress, self-confidence, boundary-setting, spirituality, and substance abuse. My communication style I strive to provide my clients with a genuine, warm, safe place to process their successes and challenges by building rapport and trust. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist started 18 years ago when I worked at a private residential facility for youth and adults with mental health and substance abuse disorders. There, I found my passion for helping others and learning how mental health and substance abuse impact their lives and the lives of their families. I became passionate about helping others share in their successes and overcome their challenges. This experience showed me that treatment is possible. I accomplished my goals by becoming dually licensed for both mental health and substance abuse, as I am passionate about both and continue to strive to make a difference in people’s lives. My goals for you I use an open-ended communication style to support clients in making their own decisions and learning to find solutions that support them.
