Hi. I am an experienced social worker who entered a new professional chapter later in life, returning to train for my LCSW in my 50's. Prior to that, I was a 35 year veteran of hospital based social work which gave me experience working with people in crisis, complex systems, difficult decisions, and human suffering. I believe I have brought that experience into psychotherapy as I am living proof that you don't start from zero when you make a major change and that there is always a solution, even if things look unchangeable. Professionally, I believe that insight without action leads to stagnation and frustration and without a plan of action, clients often become discouraged. Much of my work will involve helping you identify a next right step in addressing challenges.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck during a difficult period in your life? If you are, then you are in the right place. My name is Malka Pill, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I provide a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard, develop effective coping strategies, and reconnect with your strengths. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, OCD, and life transitions.

From the outside, it may look like you have it all. You've built a successful career, business, or family, yet something still feels off. You may feel disconnected, misunderstood, stressed, or simply not as fulfilled as you expected to be. You might even find yourself wondering, "Why doesn't this feel the way I thought it would?" If that resonates with you, you're not alone. Since 2007, I've helped individuals and couples better understand themselves by uncovering the relationship blind spots that quietly shape every area of their lives—from the relationship they have with themselves to the relationships they have with the people they love. Many of my clients don't come to therapy because they're falling apart. They come because they know they're capable of experiencing more in life. More love. More connection. More peace. More fulfillment. They simply don't know what's getting in the way. Together, we'll identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck so you can begin creating the life and relationships you've been wanting all along. My practice is intentionally small and built around a concierge model of care that differs from traditional in-network therapy. I work best with clients who are ready to invest in themselves through a committed, integrative process rather than casual weekly check-ins.
