Brady Malone
MA

Brady Malone is a limited licensed psychologist who provides psychotherapy and psychological assessments for adults seeking insight into how their personality, life, context, and past experiences contribute to their problems. He blends psychoanalytic theory with acceptance-based approaches to identify and resolve self-defeating patterns of behavior. 


Dr. Malone works with adults and students struggling with perfectionism, shame, emotional instability, and relational conflict. His therapeutic approach goes beyond symptom relief, starting with the acknowledgment that symptoms like anxiety or conflict avoidance are often solutions to larger emotional issues. He offers therapy in a thoughtful, empathetic space where introspection is supported. 


Dr. Malone’s areas of specialization include personality disorders (narcissistic and borderline), chronic depression, low self-esteem, divorce, infidelity, and persistent self-sabotaging behavior. He serves a range of populations including adults, high-functioning professionals, college students, queer/non-binary individuals, and those in non-monogamous relationships.
