Gertie Mallard-Teal, LMHC, C-DBT

Welcome, glad you're here. I'm a therapist empowering women through growth and change. I work from a person-centered approach to aid in navigating struggles and enhance confidence.

I specialize in working with women who are ready to increase self-esteem, grow through life’s challenges, and take ownership of their stories. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward, therapy can be a powerful space to reconnect with your strengths and rediscover your voice. I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and respect—offering support, tools, and insight without judgment. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

No two women are the same, so I believe in a flexible approach to help you build emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and increased self-worth. I integrate several evidence-based therapies for addressing anxiety, self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, and substance use.

I provide a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative space where you can be fully yourself. You don’t have to do this alone—let’s work together to help you take charge of your life with confidence and clarity. And can I just say how proud I am of you for taking this first step? Therapy is a courageous act of self-care, and here you are, doing just that!
