Malina Cipriano
CLINICAL COUNSELLOR
My Practice.
I use a blend of evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and Mindful Self-Compassion, tailoring my approach to each client's unique needs. My goal is to help you build resilience and gain the tools you need to create lasting, positive change in your life. Having worked with children and adolescents as a dance teacher, I understand how movement and self-expression can be powerful tools for healing and self-awareness. This experience allows me to bring a unique, holistic perspective to my work, guiding clients toward growth in both mind and body. Outside of work, you can usually find me with friends and family, off on a new adventure, or cuddled up with my dog, Winnie.
Therapeutic Approaches & Focuses
I support clients through many different challenges, including anxiety and stress, depression, life transitions, relationship and peer conflict, self-esteem, performance anxiety, body image concerns, school and career stress, and trauma. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and EMDR, along with practices rooted in mindfulness, self-compassion, and holistic mind–body connection. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences, build resilience, and move toward greater balance and well-being.
I've always been the friend who listens, encourages, and helps others find their way. My love for supporting and teaching people has shaped every step of my journey, from my early years to the career I have today. For the past 13 years, I've shared my passion for dance as a teacher, guiding students not only in movement but in building confidence, discipline, and self-expression. My practice is centered on supporting individuals of all ages—children, adolescents, and adults as they work through challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions. I believe in the transformative potential within each person and am deeply committed to creating a space of trust, empathy, and compassion.
One conversation. One step forward.
