Train at Mala

Your Experience Matters.

Clinical training & Supervision that prioritizes your clinical excellence & your wellbeing, too. 

Why did you choose to become a healer?

Your true WHY matters to us. We want to help you connect with why this profession called upon you, and why you chose to answer that calling. We want to help you learn that you are worthy of being invested in so that you can provide clinical work in the most liberating, authentic, and fulfilling ways possible. We want to help you embark on a journey of self growth and discovery as a life long learner while you train to become a mental health provider.

If you believe that being a mental health provider is more of a calling than a job…

If your heart is to change lives by breaking patterns of trauma and discrimination… 

If you are committed to providing the highest quality care for every client…

Three colorful dots.
