Hi, I'm Malissa — I'm so glad you're here.
My Approach is Collaborative, Compassionate, and Grounded in What Works
Nearly twenty years of experience in the field has shaped the way I approach therapy.
At the heart of my work is a steady trust in your ability to heal, grow, and create a life that feels aligned and authentic.
My approach is both deeply human and clinically grounded—rooted in compassion, professional expertise, and a strong belief in each person’s capacity for growth and healing. I bring a trauma-informed lens to every session, creating a space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported—without pressure to perform or explain everything perfectly.
Instead of applying a one-size-fits-all method, I take the time to understand your lived experiences, values, and goals creating a therapy process that feels aligned with who you are and where you want to go.
My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and always collaborative. You’re the expert on your life—I’m here to support your insight, growth, and healing with curiosity, care, and a few well-placed tools along the way.
Meet Your Therapist
Hi, I’m Malissa Page, LCSW, BCD—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California and Washington, and a Board-Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work. For nearly two decades, I’ve supported people through trauma recovery, emotional resilience, and meaningful change—with a particular focus on women’s mental health.
My first role as a counselor was in 2006 helping women heal after relationship abuse. Since then, I’ve supported clients through a wide range of life experiences—from military trauma and PTSD to burnout, anxiety, grief and loss, and the quiet overwhelm that so many high-functioning professionals carry beneath the surface.
After earning my Master of Social Work from the University of Washington in 2009, I continued my education with a postgraduate certificate in the Assessment & Treatment of Psychological Trauma.
I’m trained in a variety of evidence-based modalities—including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and most recently KAP—and I’m always learning, refining, and expanding my therapeutic toolkit.
Over the course of my career, I’ve worked over a decade at the Department of Veterans Affairs, provided trauma-focused therapy to Combat Veterans and survivors of Military Sexual Trauma, and served in leadership as a Supervisory Social Worker.
I’ve also created and led women’s empowerment workshops, therapy groups, and professional trainings for social service and healthcare providers.
Today, I bring all of that experience into each session—with compassion, curiosity, and a steady presence.
I believe therapy is a collaborative space where your voice leads the way.
My role is to walk alongside you, offering support, insight, and practical tools to help you move forward—on your terms. Here I share why this work matters so much to me.
