Welcome! I’m Haruna Maliani, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). My passion for mental healthcare is rooted in a deep respect for human resilience and a belief that everyone deserves compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to their unique journey.
With an extensive background in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, I specialize in diagnosing, treating, and managing a wide range of mental health conditions—including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD/trauma, and stress management. I work primarily with adults and young adults from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
I view mental wellness through a holistic lens: your biology, lifestyle, relationships, and environment all play a role in your overall well-being. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard and empowered to take an active role in your healing process.
I work compassionately with generally high-functioning adults who may be experiencing a range of potential symptoms that diminish their mental and/or physical health and well-being. These may include anxiety, perfectionism, and performance challenges; self-esteem and self-worth; body image and disordered eating; managing chronic disease; grief and loss; depression; relationship challenges with friends, partners, and family members; and life and career transitions that may include finding meaning in life. I often work with people who simply find life is easier when they have a non-judgmental connection outside of their usual circles.
I support adults through life transitions including grief, loss, relationship challenges, panic, job loss, empty nest, medical trauma & other upsetting & traumatic events. I'm a talk therapist, EMDR therapy certified & advanced Flash Technique trained - tools that I incorporate to help my clients navigate emotions in the days and weeks following and ongoing.
As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.
As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.
I'm Rhyanna, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who is ready to help you lead a more fulfilling life. I enjoy treating those who are suffering with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting stress, ADHD, LGBTQIA+ issues, life transitions, grief, body image concerns and more. I am not specialized for any populations at this time and provide a general but effective approach.
I am well versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) models and offer a direct and compassionate humanistic approach. I use Logo therapy, Gestalt therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am also well versed in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
I look forward to talking and working with you and hope the work we do together helps you find contentment and joy in your life.
Come and start your journey towards a better life. I will help you develop resilience and strengthen your inner core. I will work with you to develop problem solving skills, and learn effective communication skills. I am an empathetic listener with over 10 years of experience in this field.
My therapeutic method is tailored to fit your temperament and individual experience. You may be facing a combination of personal, social, and institutional adversity. Discomfort may be unavoidable, but you are not alone; I can help you transform hardship or tragedy into resilience. My process is effective; it evolves as you do. If you experience negative feelings like inadequacy, grief, or shame, I can help you understand the origin of the discomfort and make changes toward ease. Sometimes, worry can be helpful; other times, anxiety and depression lie to us. Having worked in both economically-strained and prosperous communities, I have seen the impact of trauma and neglect on various people. I also understand being a white male can insulate me against the prejudice and discrimination commonly experienced by people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community; I trust my client’s experiences and take responsibility for my blind spots.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newton
Searching for therapists in Newton starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare Newton therapists, look for specialties and approaches that connect to your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or support for young adults. A therapist’s profile can help you understand their focus areas, communication style, and what sessions may be like.
Newton has local therapy options, but availability can vary by schedule, neighborhood, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual care. If nearby appointments are limited, virtual therapy can expand your options across Massachusetts while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how their bio describes their approach. These details can help you choose a therapist who fits your schedule, preferences, and care goals.
Therapy in Newton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare providers who are accepting new patients. You can confirm coverage for your specific plan and location on Headway before booking. You can browse profiles, review fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
