MEET JESSICA MALMBERG, LMFT
You are ready to step over the threshold
I work with women in transition—those descending into the dark, grieving, unraveling, awakening.
YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE
I help people just like you. These are the empaths, deep-thinkers, achievers, and quiet rebels—and those who’ve carried too much for too long.
You may be suffering a big loss, a miscarriage, the loss of your precious child. You could choose to move forward without looking within, staying on the surface, but you know you need more. Perhaps wary of receiving support, this time you know you can’t go on as you have. Like the ancient story of Inanna, you are being pulled into descent: grief that hasn’t been grieved, wounds that ache louder with age, facing the fear of taking up space or speaking truths that might hurt others.
The descent offers a chance to encounter a part of yourself that has been hidden, that needs a voice, whose sacred sorrows need to be honored, not sent away. It is an initation into your fuller, wiser self.
Then there is the return. A moving into a self that follows the rhythm of your unique soul, that isn’t just here to tend to others but that has its own wisdom, knowing and power.
Like Inanna, my clients are brave souls navigating the shadows—not to escape them, but to emerge with new strength, depth, and belonging.
My Style
Empathic, expressive, insightful, I hold space in the dark, attune to your soul’s path, and offer insight and relief, holding the lantern for the next step.
In our work, we created a trusted place to go into the depths of your life, your losses, your wounds, your joys.
As a grief therapist I honor the importance of this difficult territory, of longing for the connection you’ve dreamed of with your child, of the loss of this baby, and the loss of ease in your life and relationships. I trust and honor the process of grief, and the important places it takes us that allow the opening of presence and joy.
We may work with your dreams, bring in myths or poems to illustrate new ways of seeing as you expand and shift. We learn the importance of grieving losses, and ways to create safety and ground in this.
Weaving in effective trauma therapy, I offer relief from panic, nightmares and inner dread, helping you move to a new place in your body and nervous system, with more safety and new options for perceiving yourself and the world.
I offer mindfulness and practices that help weave you into the cosmos as one who belongs, that help you find your feet and bring ground and spaciousness to yourself, your relationships and the world.
As a child loss survivor and a cancer survivor, I know the terrain of loss and trauma, and it is an honor to walk your journey with you.
