Deciding if therapy is right for you involves considering whether you're facing challenges or emotions that affect your daily life and relationships. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to cope with life's stressors, therapy can provide support and tools to help navigate these difficulties.
While we would love to say that Malaty Therapy is the right fit for everyone, that would not be an honest answer. We do our absolute best to make sure we are a trusted partner in our community, but every person is unique and has a look and energy that they are seeking.

Therapy sessions at Malaty Therapy typically last for 60 minutes.

At Malaty Therapy, we work with individuals across a wide range of age groups, from children as young as 5 years old to adults up to 65. Our therapists provide interventions that meet the unique developmental and emotional needs of each stage of life.
In addition to working with children, we specialize in supporting teenagers through the challenges of adolescence. We offer one-on-one therapy as well as a teen group that focuses on issues such as connection, self-esteem, and navigating the complexities of growing up. This group provides a safe space for teens to connect with others facing similar challenges while learning coping skills that promote emotional growth and resilience.
For adults, we provide therapy for a wide range of life transitions and challenges. No matter your age, we strive to create a supportive environment where you can work through the difficulties you're facing.
Determining if your child needs therapy can involve observing their behavior and emotional state for signs of distress or difficulty coping. Look for changes in mood, behavior, or functioning that may indicate underlying issues such as anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, or trauma. Additionally, consider factors such as changes in academic performance, social interactions, or physical health. If you're unsure, consulting with a qualified mental health professional can provide insight and guidance in determining if therapy is appropriate for your child's needs.
Yes, therapy at Malaty Therapy is completely confidential. We adhere to strict ethical guidelines and legal standards to protect your privacy and ensure that everything you share in your sessions remains confidential. Your trust is incredibly important to us, and we want you to feel safe discussing whatever is on your mind.
However, if you're using insurance, certain information, such as your diagnosis and the services you receive, may need to be disclosed to your insurance provider for billing purposes. While we do everything we can to protect your privacy, once this information is shared with your insurance company, we no longer control how they handle it.
For minors, there are certain limitations to confidentiality. While we respect the privacy of younger clients, parents or guardians may need to be informed of certain details, particularly if there is a concern for the minor's safety or well-being. We balance this with a commitment to fostering trust with our younger clients and ensuring they feel heard and supported.
Additionally, the only other circumstances that would require us to break confidentiality include situations where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or when mandated by law.
Your privacy is always our top priority, and we are committed to maintaining confidentiality to the fullest extent possible.
Some of our therapists are in network with providers.
Malaty Therapy offers flexible options when it comes to insurance coverage for therapy services. We are in-network with United, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Cigna. Some insurance plans may fall under one of these larger networks, so if you're unsure about your coverage, feel free to give us a call, and we’d be happy to clarify.
While many of our therapists are in-network, some may be considered out-of-network providers. For clients seeing an out-of-network therapist, we can provide superbills to help you seek reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits. Additionally, we have interns available who offer services at discounted rates, making therapy more accessible.
Please note that once your information is shared with your insurance company, we no longer have control over the confidentiality of that information.
