MaLena Goodnight is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of North Carolina and a Marine Corps veteran. I have provided care in the mental health field since 2010. I will be providing therapeutic care from ages 18-65+ for individuals seeking help with anxiety, depression, military/ military-related issues; as well as trauma, and LGBTQ+ challenges. I am gay and a strong ally, lifestyle-friendly, and kink-aware. I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina, and obtained my Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University. I utilize a collaborative approach that includes but is not limited to a person-centered, solution-focused, mindfulness-based, cognitive behavioral approach to therapy; that maintains the needed flexibility and awareness necessary to best meet the unique needs of each individual and/or couple. I have a passion for supporting military members, veterans, and their families. As a veteran and a former spouse, I understand the unique challenges that being in or affiliated with the military can bring. I am a trained Reiki Master and offer an affirming, safe space for counseling. I am very understanding of individuals who desire a deeper understanding of energy and the importance of taking responsibility for their own energy and setting healthy boundaries. I am also a SoulCollage® Facilitator and can do this individually or with groups as it is a creative, intuitive process that fosters self-discovery and personal growth.
