Welcome to the Malama Collective!
Weaving a community of care, together.
Welcome to the Malama Collective!
The Malama Collective is a group of psychotherapists, guided by the core value of care. We are a non-profit mental health organization serving Orange County and the greater California region.
We provide:
- Sliding Scale Psychotherapy in our Tustin office and on Zoom for California residents.
- Quality Training and Supervision to associates in the field.
- Courses and Community Connection Events for mental health providers.
- Community Collaboration in the service of mental health such as group process, consultation, and special events.
The Malama Collective began with four psychotherapists, engaging the question of what it is to practice psychodynamically informed psychotherapy in a way that engages the social barriers that create and maintain inequity and inequalities in access to mental health services as well as barriers to care.
The Malama Collective, is committed to making an impact upon these inequities as we:
Engage in Community Building
Together, we are building a community of mental health providers, teachers, and community volunteers, interested in cultivating community.
Teach the Next Generation of Therapists
As therapists, committed to our own inner work, we are weaving the richness of psychodynamic thought, with an intersectional lens. We offer quality training and supervision to associates interested in the value of a deep theoretical understanding of the psyche as well as a commitment to social justice and intersectionality.
Offer Quality, Affordable Psychotherapy
Engage Social Psychoanalysis
We are engaged in the questions of Social Psychoanalysis and its import for postmodern practice. Each month, we read and discuss contemporary research and theory in Social Psychoanalysis. The focus of the readings will revolve around questions of social situatedness and intersectionality in clinical work.
