My name is Makalah and I am Co-Owner of Flourish Counseling Services.
I have been in the field of Social Work for 6 years heading into 7. I have enjoyed working alongside and getting to know Tandy for over a year, and could not imagine a better individual to serve clients with for years to come! Clinically, I hold expertise when treating individuals with Co-Occurring disorders, Anxiety and Depression, and ADHD diagnoses. I hold further certifications in Trauma Focused-CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).
Having the opportunity to blend my professional skills while running a practice with someone who I admire and trust in Tandy is nothing short of a dream come true.
We want to welcome you to Flourish, where our objective is to encourage you to
be healthy, live happy, and grow well.
Operationally, I am proficient in running a business’ backend while maintaining care for the individuals I work alongside.
I have held positions with organizations that include residential treatment, community mental health, intensive home-based casework, private practice, and the public schools. I have also served as adjunct faculty at IU School of Social Work. I value relationship building and reflection through the use of an eclectic approach pulling from cognitive behavior, solution focused, and other personalized therapeutic approaches.
I am beyond excited to partner with Makalah. Her knowledge and experience are both remarkable. The values of Flourish are the guide for our practice. Makalah and I have a shared mission to provide the highest quality therapeutic space that fosters your ability to gain self-understanding and growth.
