I am Debbie Malloy and I graduated from the University of West Georgia with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Minor in Sociology. I received my Master's in Professional Counseling from Argosy University and I am currently a licensed Professional Counselor for the State of Georgia. I have a passion for working with at-risk youth struggling with many issues including sexual abuse, neglect, deprivation, and addiction. My background includes immediate crisis Intervention for the Carroll Rape Crisis Center, residential settings, marriage counseling, and partial hospitalization. I also work with select clients using the EMDR technique. My mission is to empower, educate, and encourage by offering hope and assistance for those coping with overwhelming stress. I am a published Author of the therapeutic book, Buddy Hears Holly, a book for children of divorce (2013). I have a private practice at 809 South Park Street in Carrollton, Georgia.

Reach Out for Help
If you have suffered from tragedy or a major loss in your life, understand that it is normal to feel angry, anxious or depressed. Tend to your feelings in an effort to recover. Depression cannot be willed or wished away. You can't just "snap out of it". Being depressed or overwhelmed is not your fault and you don't need to feel guilty or ashamed to talk to someone about it.
Stress and Struggle
"Suffering from trauma leading to depression and overwhelming anxiety has a negative impact on our ability to grow personally, spiritually, and professionally. There are many myths and often times stigmas associated with depression and anxiety that is related to sexual assault, grief and loss, divorce, job transitioning and basically ANYTHING that happens in life that we NEVER expected. Exploring resources made available through counseling can help."
