Help us give a warm welcome to our newest counselor, Alaina Malaski, LMSW! 👏

Here's a little about Alaina ⬇

"I’m Alaina Malaski, a Licensed Master Social Worker who enjoys working with teens and adults (14yrs+) navigating life’s challenges. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, working through trauma, or experiencing life transitions, I’m here to provide a safe, supportive space to explore what’s going on and work toward meaningful change.

I take a relational, collaborative approach to therapy. That means I believe a strong, authentic connection is at the heart of the healing process. I integrate evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and person-centered therapy, depending on your unique needs.

I believe therapy can be a powerful tool for growth, healing, and self-discovery, and I feel honored to walk alongside clients on that journey."

Some of you may recognize Alaina, as she previously spent time at North Iowa Counseling as an internship student. We are SO excited and honored that she chose to continue on her counseling path here at North Iowa! Alaina's warmth, skills, and humor make her the perfect addition to our team. ✨

We can't wait for you to get to know her, too!

📆 To schedule with Alaina, reach out to her at 319-208-3276.
