About me
Hello! I am a licensed psychologist, licensed marriage and family therapist, and an international parenting, divorce, and coparenting coach. I have been working with single adults, couples, children and families for over 20 years. My clients are learning to master such issues as overcoming depression; trauma recovery; anxiety reduction; managing existential and identity issues, reducing stress, and controlling anger. I have counseled in mental health, addiction treatment, and criminal justice settings. Currently, I have a private practice in south Florida (www.family-options.com), where I supervise master's level mental health counseling and psychology trainees. I also teach graduate-level courses in ethics, disaster and trauma response, abnormal behavior, community counseling, and criminal behavior, and I mentor graduate dissertation students in forensic psychology. (Disclaimer: I am a contracted employee for BetterHelp; any posted reviews of my work were not solicited by me).
I have worked with individuals who are struggling with a wide range of concerns, including such things as recovery from divorce; managing anxiety, stress and depression; estrangement from family; career changes; marital infidelity; and parenting challenges. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have problems with self-worth, who have experienced trauma, and with families in conflict.
Through our interactions, I hope that you will find a safe place where we can explore your concerns and develop a plan that will have you actively pursuing your goals and living the life you want. Together, we can undo false belief systems and unhealthy habits.
My therapeutic style is strengths-based, meaning that I will work with you to identify your strengths and the strategies that have worked well for you in the past, and nurture those skills to their highest potential. I am committed to getting to know you as an individual, and working hard to earn your trust and discover exactly what changes you hope to make in your life. You are the expert in your own life and in what you need, and the pace in which you would like to go, and it's my honor to adapt my counseling style to your needs and help you create the life that you want. I may "push" you out of your comfort zone at times in order to challenge you to meet the goals you have set for yourself, but I will provide you with a safe environment and will always be empathetic and patient and put you first.
I strive to support, encourage, educate, and empower my clients. I encourage lots of feedback from my clients, and I am very open to constructive criticism, because I want this process to be helpful and useful for you. Together, we will create an individualized treatment plan that empowers you to overcome obstacles and create specific, achievable tasks that will put you on the a solid path to meet your goals. Therapy is an investment in time, money and emotional energy, and I look forward to joining you in helping to ensure that your investment pays off!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Tracy Mallett. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
There’s no one like her to me‼️
I’m happy with my therapist and teen counseling.
Dr Mallett has been a calming influence for me.
Dr. Mallett is both professional and down to earth. She listens and helps provide thought provoking questions that allow you to think through an issue or concern while providing space for you to develop your own conclusions. She provides positive reflection and is interactive during therapy sessions.
She’s wonderful and has been so helpful giving me the tools I need. She is always there to check on me too.
Dr. Mallett and teen counseling has been crucial to my well-being this past year, and I’m deeply grateful for her support and to know I have someone upon whose opinion I can rely and respect.
Dr. Mallett asked probing questions that were key in helping me become an active participant in my therapy and accomplishing my therapy goals. She was very intuitive and was able to really identify some strengths and weaknesses in my thought patterns., nes that were working for me and those that were counterproductive. She provided thoughtful questions that helped me become more aware of my behaviors that weren't working for me in a positive way. Through our sessions she allowed me to be “in charge” and arrive at answers, changes, and have accountability for my part in making changes. Very effective. So it wasn’t her telling me what to do, but me arriving at some great conclusions. I had never thought about the word “shame” before and had to really look inside and see what that meant for me and why I was doing it and suggested some effective strategies to start addressing it. Key points. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
I feel like I have finally found a therapist that hears me, understands my situation and the areas of concern and growth that I have while giving practical guidance and tips to heal in every situation. She is very versed and knowledgeable in so many areas
I've searched all over for a therapist to not only listen, but help me dissect what I've gone through and ask me questions that will help me understand what I've gone through. I asked for this specifically and she delivered. I tell my friends how happy I am that we've been connected because she has helped me alot so far.
Good stuff
Loving the help I’m getting from Dr. Mallett so far.
Dr. Mallett makes this process so easy and comforting. As someone who has avoided therapy for years, I instantly regretted that decision as soon as I spoke with her. She has a way of completely understanding your issue and giving basic and clear advice on ways to resolve it. Her expertise and dedication is evident.
We only started session a month ago, but so far she is on top of me and my daughter and inquires and asks questions frequently witch makes me feels as she cares and it is committed to help.
I have never felt pressured by Dr. Mallett. She makes me feel like I can talk with her, and not feel any type of feeling other than being able to get my words off my chest.
She has given me methods to work through my issues, even when I don't think I tell her enough.
Dr Mallett is the first therapist I have ever had that I feel truly listens to me. She offers sound feedback to help me navigate my relationship with my high conflict mother. It’s been a challenge but, I think I am getting better at it.
She is the best!! So knowledgeable, encouraging and I love her approach to helping my daughter - and me!
She is an outstanding psychologist! I am truly
Blessed for her expertise. Thank you!!
Dr. Mallett has been a great resource for us providing a balanced and reasonable approach for our issues. Setting goals and tasks that we both agree on is very helpful.
So far my experience is great. Great listener and guidance at this point in our conversations!!!
Dr. Mallett has open up questions that makes makes me think about my situation in a different perspective.
I look forward to talking to her and she has good relationship advice. I'm thankful for her help
Doctor Mallett is the perfect for complex therapy issues; she understands issues that are under the radar and helps you to improve in many ways.
Very helpful.
I think she is an amazing therapist this experience has been most helpful
She is a breath of fresh air and I personally like her style and helps people get outside of their own head to see the objectiveness of how silly we can be and that we can do better and take certain steps and see the bigger picture
I feel she is on target about many issues we have brought up in our sessions.
She is very kind and thorough, she has great insights and is very skilled at counseling. She responds quickly and with care.
I cAn see the healing in my daughter and I’s relationship already . I know it’s just the start but I look forward to the journey ahead and I feel optimistic . thank you
Dr. Mallett is wonderful at listening and give fair advices/responses especially try to get me understand for someone’s point of view or even my own view. I enjoy having her as my therapist.
I’ve never had a therapist that truly compares to Dr. Mallett. She listens, she’s direct when she needs to be. She’s very grounded yet extremely wise. I am so thankful teencounseling.com paired me with her.
Dr. Mallett is very supportive of my over all goals. I am grateful for her experience & feel I am gaining insight in how to be my best self thanks to her.
I am grateful for Dr. Mallett’s help.
Dear. Dr Mallett im so glad
The difference in my life this year, thanks to Dr. Mallett’s guidance, is more than I dreamed of. Great work.
Dr. Tracy is wonderful. We love her and she is great to talk to! My husband and I both feel that she is great at listening to both parties and not only pinpointing when she feels someone needs to improve on something, but also giving praise when she feels they are doing something well. This approach has helped my husband and I immensely in feeling validated, heard, and respected, and it makes it easier for us to communicate with each other. She has really good insight into things, and her approach is a perfect blend of straightforward and caring.
Dr Tracy has been very helpful I enjoy all the outlooks she sends me and the positive messages and readings she sends me I am very great full for her work.
Dr. Mallett makes me feel very comfortable opening up and sharing all my thoughts. She is very easy to talk and has a great way of cutting through all the things I say and asking a question that gets to the point of the issue.
Dr. Mallett has been a very big help in my life!
Hello,
I would like to give a new review for Dr Tracy Mallett. I was very afraid of therapy in the beginning. And I was reluctant to have a positive attitude. But I'm so glad I've pushed through that, with the help of Dr Tracy.
She is actually a very kind and attentive counselor. She spends a lot of time and energy with her clients. She is direct and brings a lot of knowledge to our talks.
I very much appreciate her and our time together.
After seeing Doctor Mallet's amazing bio,
Me and my partner felt quite taken by her and excited to engage her.
This was amplified by the tremendous amount of effort and attention that she planted on us in order to get us thinking about what we wanted to get out of therapy, as well as to set clear goals for ourselves in our relationship.
Although she is very respectful and quirky, she's also very direct in her manner of speech, something that made her advice carry all the more weight behind it.
I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends and colleagues looking for a relationship counselor, particularly one who is so grounded as person as Doctor Mallet.
Dr. Mallett has been very positive in our interactions and helpful in directing me to solve the problems and issues I've been going through.
Straight forward. I appreciate speaking direct.
She is informative and caring and kind and supportive! I feel better about things already
She is patient with me.
Dr. Mallet is great! She really helps you break down what is really going on and asks good questions that really have helped me to open up. She is quick to respond and really utilizes all the tools that teencounseling.com offers.
It’s great to have therapist that listens to you and is able to help you be more positive about your life. I truly look forward to our weekly sessions.
Gives excellent advice
I am extremely appreciative of Dr. Mallett and her skills! I’ve struggled in the past with feeling invalidated by previous therapists but, Dr. Mallett truly makes me feel heard and understood.
Thank for all you do, just having a listening person that could give you feedback on a situation and be an outsider looking in and guiding you thru it is appreciated . I wish i could have her there as a refferry when i encounter with others. lol.. Thank you
Dr. Mallett is a very kind, understanding and very knowledgeable counselor. Whenever I reach out to her, she is always willing to listen and guide me through whatever am going through. She has a very flexible schedule and she is always on time for her sessions. I will highly recommend Dr. Mallett to anyone who is serious about counseling. Her education and experience are very impressive and have really helped me so far.
Dr. Mallet offers a lot in terms of communication. It is the key that I want, to be able to see someone is talking back to me, responding to how I feel. I think, I like to feel as though my words are heard, I'm not looking to be understood, but that, what I'm saying is not falling under deaf ears. I understand that I am stubborn, and things take a while to sink in, but the fact I am being heard, makes a huge difference in continuing to interact with her.
Dr. Mallett is an experienced professional with valuable counseling wisdom. I appreciate her guidance and counsel.
Absolutely love her! Beyond thankful for her
My counselor is attentive, listens to me, and provides many different ways of tackling my issues right now. I no longer overwhelmed as I know I have someone who's got my back and understands me. I also do not feel alone as I can share my concerns and emotions with her. Thank you, Dr. Mallett!
Dr. Mallet is wonderful, warm, insightful. I feel comfortable speaking with her and sharing my needs. I have appreciated her recommendations and the guidance received. I am feeling better and growing, making progress.
Dr. Mallett responds quickly and takes the time to understand you and your needs.
Dr. Mallet has been super helpful. She is a good listener and is ready to dive in to whatever I bring to the table. And even sends me helpful articles and thoughts through out the week. I feel like she does a good job at honoring our time together and is fully present. I highly recommend scheduling a session with her!
I am grateful for our time together. She has helped me make connections and realizations that my brain would have fought off. She is teaching me how to stand up for my heart and myself.
I really enjoy working with Dr. Tracy. She is the first therapist I've ever worked with and I was nervous that I may not find a therapist that I feel comfortable with right away - but I couldn't be happier or feel better about finding someone who listens to me and offers the help and understanding she provides. I'm very grateful for her!
Dr. Mallett is the first therapist I’ve felt like I can really open up to and understands the type of feedback I need to be successful. The only thing I would change is I’d like her to respond a little more quickly at times, but I’m very happy with the progress I’ve made with her
I am so grateful to Dr. Mallett. She has been very helpful to me.
Great doc helping me a lot
great expertise !
Great listener!!
Dr. Mallet is an excellent counselor!! So thankful I was teamed up with her!
I have just recently started seeing Dr. Mallett, only 4 or 5 sessions. She has me invested more than any other therapist I have ever been too. She works around your schedule and with you to find the best time. She learns you and tweaks sessions. I have not only noticed a change in the few sessions we have had, my friends and family do as well.
Dr. Mallet is amazing. She offers many years of experience that speaks for itself. You will not be disappointed!
Dr. Mallet listens to my concerns and frustrations, and gives appropriate guidance.
Dr. Mallet is a great therapist- she listens well and understands and has very helpful feedback and suggestions. I have seen several therapists over the years, and she's by far the most helpful. Highly recommend!
With only a few sessions. I hope I am right with her being a Psychologist, I can see how she is putting the picture together with her questions, comments, concerns, and advice. I believe she can help.
Dr. Mallett provides a safe environment for me to express my concerns. She offers great advice as well as different perspectives for me to understand how to make my relationship with myself as well as with my partner better.
Dr Mallett is well qualified and versed in dealing with setting boundaries and helping with difficult family dynamics.
