Brenda K MaloyLPC

As much as possible, I tend to match the style of the client without losing my feeling of being genuine. The first session is extremely important because it is the opportunity to make the client comfortable, learn about their struggles, bond with them over an issue or something in common, leave them with the knowledge that ;things do get better.

My style is to be direct and on-point in helping clients meet their goals. Utilizing workbooks, hand-outs, anything that helps the client to connect and move forward. I also have them check reality frequently to see how they have changed in the last 2 weeks, month, 3 month, etc.

Rapport is a key component in evoking change. In my experience, I have worked with brilliant therapists who could really formulate a theory and deliver a powerful ending message. I have also worked with the not so brilliant, but incredibly genuine and caring clinician, and those were the therapists that kept clients and saw results.

I have 33 years as a LPC in Texas and have worked in many different capacities and in different settings. I owned a geriatric psychology services business for 14 years; was the Director of Intake for privately owned psychiatric hospital for 8 years; have worked as Clinical Director for community mental center serving the lower SES population. Experience with different cultures, ages, and populations have provided a sound framework for providing excellent clinical services.
