If you’re contemplating taking the next step in getting help, please know that you are not alone. I would be honored to support you through your journey and guide you as you find hope again. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (California), Licensed Mental Health Counselor (Massachusetts) and Registered Art Therapist who has over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I passionately believe that we are all capable of achieving our personal goals if provided with the right support. I strive to help my clients find joy, discover inner-strengths and return to a sense of balance in their lives. Some of my specializations include healing after trauma and loss, overcoming depression, low self-esteem and anxiety, stress management, self-care, solving behavioral problems, improving relationships and issues related to adoption.
Sometimes talk therapy can feel intimidating or perhaps it seems hard put how you feel into words. Maybe you are curious about using art to express yourself but you’ve never had the opportunity. In addition to talk therapy modalities, I guide clients in using visual arts, writing, music, drama and play in sessions to provide an opportunity for therapeutic experiences that are creative, reflective and meaningful. This method of therapy is highly personalized, suited for all ages and no creative skills are required to participate.
Whether you need guidance navigating a difficult transition in life or you are seeking a supportive presence to take the first step in reaching your therapy goals, I am committed to creating a safe and compassionate environment for you to get back on the right track.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I am so glad I found Jen Malloy on BetterHelp! Our sessions have really helped me work through a lot of my anxious feelings and the insecurities and anger issues brought on by the current uncertainties in the world. Jen comes up with great questions that enable me to think about my experiences from a different angle, opening up my perspective. Jen is an absolute treasure, who is always kind and often creative, and I highly recommend her!
Dr Jen is amazing! She has a wonderful ability to be able to reflect and put into words what I’m dealing with. She listens attentively and always helps me to unpack things into bite-size pieces so that I can deal with them. She is extremely supportive, inquisitive, and knowledgeable. Instead of advising me “what to do” she will ask insightful and promoting questions, so that I can discover my own answers for myself. I would definitely recommend her.
Jen has been great in responding to all of my thoughts and has had great & constructive responses to the stories/experiences I've shared with her. She has a lot of insight and seems to really care by giving very thoughtful and helpful responses to everything I have addressed so far.
Jen has been such an empathetic and positive force in my life. She’s very validating, and has a wonderful ability of building rapport. I’m comfortable being uncomfortable in my growth, knowing she’s helping me through it.
