Rippling Waters Counseling, PLLC

As the Owner and a Clinician in the Practice, I want to say Hi! and Welcome!

I have a lot of experience in administration and in providing therapy to adults.

Treatment success is dependent upon the client’s willingness to engage in the work.

I opened Rippling Waters Counseling in September 2016 by myself.

I have extensive experience and training in several trauma therapies.

I received my Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling in 2015 from Lindenwood University-Belleville. My career in counseling began in 2013 after I graduated from Mckendree University with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology with an emphasis in Criminal Justice. My previous counseling experience was working at a prison counseling men with substance use disorder, along with having 3 years of experience working in private practice in Fairview Heights, and recently working at a community mental health center in Waterloo.

 I am licensed as a Clinical Professional Counselor since 2019. I currently work with children (10 & older), adolescents, adults, and families with a specialization in anger, anxiety, bipolar, depression, post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), relationship issues, and substance use.

Hi! I am Mallory. First, I want to give you a huge shout out in recognizing that life can be hard and feel heavy…but you don’t have to carry anything alone! Therapy can be an intimidating step to take, so let me tell you a little about myself to help you feel empowered and more at ease with the process. 

 I use an eclectic blend of therapeutic approaches as I recognize not everyone is the same and deserves treatment specific to your needs. I strive to create a welcoming space where you feel safe to be any version of yourself you choose, and it is accepted, understood, and valued. At your pace and when you are ready, I can assist you (or your kiddo) to find balance, challenge irrational beliefs, engage in self-exploration, learn skills to work through unwanted thoughts and feelings, navigate relationships, address behavior concerns, and ultimately grow to love and understand the amazing person you are!

 “Today is your opportunity to build the tomorrow you want”- I am here and proud to help you create your story!
