ABOUT ME

Mallory Jessee, LCSW, RYT200

I am a native of southwest Virginia, and I love these mountains. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Social Work, and I have been a licensed therapist since 2015. I began using EMDR in my work in 2022, and since that time it has become a professional mission of mine to share its potential for healing. I have been a client of EMDR, and I cannot overstate how transformational it has been in my personal life.

​

My journey with Yoga began in 2010 when I needed a way to cope with anxiety and stress. It didn't take long for me to become inspired by the way that Yoga philosophy and supportive therapy combine so beautifully. I completed my Yoga Instructor certification in 2017 and have been teaching regularly since that time. I have received specific training in using yoga and mindfulness as tools for therapy, and I am fascinated by how the body/mind/spirit connection that yoga nurtures can help heal depression, anxiety, grief, trauma,  self-criticism, and so much more, in ways that traditional talk therapy alone cannot reach.

My therapy style is very supportive and caring. Drawing on my education in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Trauma Informed Care, I can also offer incorporating yoga into therapy at your request. Absolutely no experience with yoga is necessary. I am excited to help you work through whatever in your life might be holding you back through treatment that is specifically tailored to your needs. I will invite you to be fully present and mindful of the beautiful gift of your life, and the amazing potential you have to be your best self in each moment.
