Ashante Malone

Licensed Master Social Worker

Hello, I’m Ashante Malone, LMSW. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Connecticut and bring over 15 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, through life’s most challenging transitions. My work focuses on helping clients navigate grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, and major life changes such as divorce, relocation and career shifts.

I provide a client-centered, compassionate, and culturally responsive space for healing and growth. My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop coping skills, emotional regulation, and confidence in themselves.

I also have experience supporting survivors of emotional abuse, sexual assault, and intimate partner violence, as well as individuals exploring faith-based counseling, LGBTQ+ affirming care, and family relationship challenges.

When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me enjoying time with family and friends or exploring new places through travel.

Whether you are coping with a recent loss, managing anxiety, or looking for a safe and supportive space to process life’s challenges, I welcome you to reach out and begin this journey with me.
