Hi, my name is Dionetta Mallory, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in Dialectical Therapy and Mindfulness practices. I have dedicated myself to enriching the community I live in, having been rooted in the Central Valley for the past 20 years.
My approach
My therapeutic approach combines Dialectical Therapy and Mindfulness practices. I utilize techniques from Attachment-based therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Coaching, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Couples Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Group Therapy, Mindfulness-Based therapies, Play Therapy, Psychoanalytic therapy, Solution Focused therapy, and Strength-Based approaches.
My focus
I work with diverse populations including adolescents, teenagers, parents, adults, and young adults. My specialties include treating ADHD, anxiety, behavioral issues, bipolar disorder, borderline personality, codependency, coping skills, cultural stress, depression, divorce, dual diagnosis, family conflict, grief, mood disorders, psychosis, school issues, self-esteem, stress, substance use, trauma and PTSD, and gender identity.
My communication style
In our sessions, I create a warm, non-judgmental space for open dialogue. I listen attentively to understand your unique perspective and needs. My communication style is direct yet compassionate as I offer insights and teach practical skills to help you cope and grow. I believe in collaborating with you to develop a personalized treatment plan aligned with your goals.
My journey to mental healthcare
I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from California State University, Stanislaus. I later went on to earn my Master's in Social Work from the same university. My path to mental healthcare has included working in various settings such as Child Protective Services, Inpatient Psychiatric Hospitals, Long-term Acute Hospitals, Home Health Services, and most recently, Outpatient Mental Health Services and Intensive Outpatient Groups. These diverse experiences motivated me to specialize in helping a wide range of people in my community.
My goals for you
My goal is to provide you with personalized, evidence-based treatment drawing from my experience in Dialectical Therapy, Mindfulness, and other modalities. I aim to equip you with effective coping skills, improved self-esteem, healthier relationships, and greater overall well-being. Together we will work towards helping you lead a more fulfilling life.
