I see counseling as a walk between two people, a time to discuss the ups and downs of life. I am person centered; solution focused and draw from a wide range of CBT mindfulness and Accelerated Resolution Therapy techniques that will help my clients find their own unique path in life.
I hold an MSW from Boston University and have been in practice for 30 years. I have trained in CBT, Gestalt, Humanistic, Motivational Interviewing and Person-Centered Therapy.
Hi, I’m Malayah! I’m a LCSW with over six years of experience helping adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, military service members, veterans, and civilians navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported without judgment.
I have extensive experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, emotional regulation, and interpersonal challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership, where we work together to understand what’s keeping you stuck while building practical skills that help you move forward.
I draw from evidence-based approaches including EMDR, trauma-focused therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, interpersonal therapy, and supportive therapy. Whether you’re processing difficult experiences, strengthening relationships, or simply trying to become the healthiest version of yourself, I’m here to help you build insight, resilience, and lasting change.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.
Hi, I'm Dr. Arthur Chen, a licensed psychologist in Boca Raton and a Clinical Director. My passion is helping you navigate challenges and build lasting well-being through evidence-based strategies, genuine empathy, and active collaboration.
I specialize in Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, eating disorder recovery, and substance abuse recovery. Our practice, where I'm Clinical Director, also handles severe issues like bipolar disorder and psychosis.
My style is active, empathetic, and results-oriented. I don't just listen; I provide direct feedback and insightful questions to deepen your self-awareness. I'll gently challenge you to explore new perspectives and identify patterns, always in a safe space. My core is unconditional positive regard and profound care, ensuring you feel safe and accepted, truly heard and understood.
My strength is equipping you with practical skills for daily life. I provide concrete tools to manage difficult emotions, improve communication, develop robust coping mechanisms, and cultivate emotional resilience. My commitment is tangible results: symptom reduction, sustainable recovery, deeper self-discovery, and ultimately, an improved quality of life. Whether you want to "figure things out" or enhance your mental fitness, I'm here to guide you.
I help people heal from trauma, with a special focus on sexual trauma, and I’ve been honored to support a wide range of individuals — including women, men, military veterans, and LGBTQIA clients — as they work through their experiences and take meaningful steps toward healing. I also enjoy helping people work through challenging life transitions (e.g., parenthood, divorce, etc.) and identity-specific concerns (e.g., men's issues, women's issues, gender identity exploration). In addition to individual therapy, I also provide relationship therapy for monogamous, non-monogamous, and open relationships as well as psychological assessment (e.g., ADHD, dementia, learning disorder, mental health) for adults.
I earned my Master of Social Work from UNC–Chapel Hill in 1999 and have more than 25 years of experience helping adults and families navigate emotional distress, relationship difficulties, and major life challenges. My background includes work as a psychotherapist and child welfare social worker.
I bring experience, steadiness, and genuine curiosity to my work. I am interested not only in what people are struggling with, but in how they came to experience themselves and their lives in the ways they do.
Through Headway, I provide insurance-based therapy to individual adults only. I do not see couples through insurance.
I'm so glad you are here! I have 7 years of experience in psychiatry with a total of 20 years in nursing. I work with those aged 6 and older. I thrive on working closely with my client in setting goals and helping achieve relief of symptoms.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right couples therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Fayetteville
Finding couples therapists in Fayetteville starts with understanding what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific couples training, so it helps to look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their profiles. If you’re comparing couples counseling in Fayetteville, NC, and Fayetteville marriage counseling options, those training details can help you narrow your search.
In a mid-sized city like Fayetteville, finding one therapist who fits both partners’ schedules, preferences, and location can take some planning. You may want an in-person office near your home, work, or commute, or a virtual appointment that gives both partners more schedule flexibility. As you review marriage counselors in Fayetteville, NC, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how they structure sessions, how they describe their communication style, and whether they work with the concerns you want to address.
Couples therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search for therapists who offer couples therapy and are accepting new clients, and nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans that you can check for your specific coverage. You can enter your insurance details, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
