Malina Banavong Maladore
I work with students navigating anxiety, identity exploration, academic or professional stress, and interpersonal challenges. These concerns often arise from perfectionism, cultural expectations, trauma, or major life changes. Clients may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in unhelpful patterns and want support finding clarity and confidence.
Through insight-building, relational work, and boundary-setting, I support college students, young adults, and new professionals in avoiding burnout, isolation, and repeating harmful patterns. I specialize in anxiety, identity development, and relational growth. I especially enjoy working with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and first-generation students.
Therapy works best when it feels like a good fit. I offer a no-pressure 15-minute consultation so you can ask questions, get a feel for my style, and decide what’s right for you. It’s okay if we’re not the right match—what matters is that you feel seen, supported, and safe.
I provide therapy through Intersect Clinical Services, a preferred provider for Boston-area students. We accept UHC StudentResources and Aetna Student Health with minimal or no out-of-pocket costs.
