Awaken Wellness Center, Inc.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
At Awaken Wellness Center, we meet you exactly where you are — no judgment, no pressure to have it all figured out. Using Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we help you access and heal trauma at its root, working with every part of you, not just the parts that feel "presentable." Healing isn't about erasing what happened — it's about no longer being held hostage by it. We'd be honored to walk this path with you.

Shay Malone
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
According to my clients, one of the things they most appreciate about me is that I listen - actually listen - to what is said and unsaid. I don't tell them how they should or shouldn't feel. My first step is understanding what is bringing you to therapy. Then, I focus on learning about your life and all the different parts that impact you: your specific brain, your family, your work, which parts of your identity matter most to you, and your social and economic stressors. And as I understand you better, I offer support as well as interventions to move you toward your goals.
As a single parent of 3 boys with varying presentations of ADHD and autism, I am very familiar with parenting stresses. I have worked in a variety of positions, from education to foster care to Medicaid services, and I use all of those experiences to support my clients. I like to say that I am the expert in counseling, but you are the expert on you.
