Malyndi R. West

Founder & Lead Counselor

In founding ReThink Counseling, I hoped to increase access to destigmatized and personalized mental health care for all. Our society as a whole is progressing in this area, but mental health stigma is still a pervasive problem that has caused significant gaps in understanding what counseling is and how it can be helpful. My family faced the consequences of this stigma at a time when we desperately needed support. It’s what inspired my mission to educate people about the value of therapy. As a Black therapist, I am passionate about offering representation to clients who don't often see themselves reflected in their healthcare providers. My clients often describe me as warm, empathetic, validating, and open-minded—stating they feel safe and comfortable working with me.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. Common concerns I address include anxiety, depression, life transitions, women’s issues, relationship stress, grief & loss, and addiction recovery, to name a few. I also have a heart for individuals seeking support for the first time, as it wasn’t long ago that I had my own reservations about taking such a big step. With consistent effort and teamwork, you will learn to better tolerate life’s daily stressors, regulate overwhelming emotions, and unlearn thought patterns and behaviors that no longer serve you.

You don't have to do this alone! Let me help you step out of the shadows of stigma and move into the light of healing. Still unsure? Reach out today for a free 15-minute consultation to assess your needs and determine whether we may be a good fit!

Therapy can seem intimidating. Everyone is talking about it, but what can you expect? You can expect a warm safe atmosphere to lay down that baggage you've been carrying. You can expect to feel seen and heard without judgment. You can feel empowered to achieve your goals. Allow me to walk alongside you on this incredible journey!
