I highly recommend Krystle King and Malaty Therapy. My daughter has been seeing Krystle for about a year and a half. Krystle has been a lighthouse in the dark. She is so patient, compassionate, nurturing and kind to both my daughter and I. Krystle has helped my daughter with her anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and setting boundaries. She also encourages my daughter to do the work. This is so helpful and has given my daughter more confidence. I feel and can see that my daughter has completely blossomed and flourished since being under Krystle's care. I cannot thank Krystle and Malaty Therapy enough. I don't know where we would be without you.

Christina Levin has expanded my awareness and has taught me how to solve complex problems by understanding myself and how I perpetuate them. I no longer see problems as things happening to me from sources beyond my control. I have been empowered to be my own self healer and recognize potential problems before they become one, in relationships with others and with myself. Did you know that many problems that you have with others can stem from the relationship that you have with yourself? If you want to understand yourself and truly revolutionize your thinking in ways that will improve every area of your life, talk to Christina Levin at Malaty Therapy. She has a solution.

If there was ever such a thing as a life saving google search this was it. I came here in search for help in dealing with my divorce. Words could never describe the level of gratitude I have for this office , specifically Christina Levin. I personally never thought of my self as the type to seek counseling, due to sheer ignorance on my part . Through these sessions I was given a space to greave over the loss of my marriage , deal with past traumas , and above all just see the path forward. Ms.levin created a space , and meaningful conversations to help me see beyond the current moment. Even now as I write this review ,it falls short of all that was given to me in these sessions, my self worth . If you should ever find yourself in need of support, or lost, please please consider seeking help , this office will go above and beyond for you, they take all necessary precautions to insure social distance and the space is very clean and modern . Thank you sooo much for everything Christina and Malaty therapy .
