Hello, I’m Malorie, a Mental Health Specialist with over 13 years of experience working with children who have learning differences, intellectual disabilities, and emotional or behavioral challenges. I’m passionate about helping each child discover their unique strengths while building confidence, self-regulation, and emotional resilience.

My approach is grounded in compassion, patience, and collaboration with families to ensure every child feels understood and supported. I believe that with the right tools and guidance, every child can grow, learn, and thrive.

I am a Mental Health Specialist with Kinder Mind, committed to creating a safe, supportive space where individuals feel empowered to share openly and grow. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, with a minor in Sociology, from the University of South Alabama in 2024. During my studies, I completed an internship focused on promoting mental health awareness and well-being among children, which strengthened my passion for helping others build resilience and thrive.

At Kinder Mind, I strive to provide compassionate care, active listening, and meaningful support tailored to each person’s unique journey.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends and exploring new coffee shops. I look forward to the opportunity to work alongside you in your path toward healing and growth.

Hi, my name is Cesaley, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker. I have experience working with adolescents, families, and individuals from all walks of life and backgrounds. I am inclusive, accepting, and welcoming of all. In my therapeutic practice, I take a client-centered approach along with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapy. I enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals who have ADHD, and individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have a passion for the LGBTQ+ community. In my sessions, I aim to make my clients feel comfortable and supported. I am a wife, mom of two daughters, an artist, and an avid reader. In my spare time, you will often find me trying out a new art hobby, chasing my kiddos around, or challenging my partner to a game.
