Who I am as a Therapist

I’m Mallory Temple — a therapist dedicated to helping people feel truly understood while they navigate the complexity and beauty of their lives. I specialize in working with couples and adult families who are longing for deeper connection, and also enjoy working with teens and individuals navigating transitions and self-discovery.

Therapy with me is not about fixing something that’s “broken.” It’s about making space for what’s true, exploring relational patterns, and unlocking the strengths already within you and your relationships. I’m here to walk alongside — even when things feel complicated and impossible.
Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and gently direct. You’ll find I hold curiosity, attunement, and play alongside seriousness — because I believe humor and authenticity help light the way forward.

“Healing involves discomfort. But so is refusing to heal. And over time, refusing to heal is always more painful.” —Resmaa Menakem

Who I am when I'm not a Therapist

You might catch me lifting weights, paddleboarding when the sun’s out, napping, or curling up with close friends over snacks and stories. These are the moments that remind me of what is delightful about being human—curiosity, joy, connection.
