About Me

A Few Words About Me

Malton Cook, Jr

My name is Malton Cook and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the State of Texas and Licensed Professional Counselor in the States of Arizona and Missouri. I have worked in the mental health field since 2011 post completion of my undergrad degree and later earned my Masters of Art in Professional Counseling. During my time in mental health, I’ve worked in various mental health settings, most recently integrated behavioral health.

My therapeutic approach includes person centered and solution focused. Clients are experts of their life, and I seek to help clients think or do things differently in an effort to increase their personal satisfaction with life. Additionally, I implement the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and Solution Focused Therapy to assist clients in modifying faulty thinking patterns and behaviors to alleviate presenting symptoms. I am also a Brainspotting practitioner who is phase 1 trained. 

My goal is to assist individuals in pursuing identified changes in a safe environment and comfortable environment. Allow me to join you on this journey to accomplish identified goals.

Areas of Specialization

Services

Virtual Therapy Session

Attend therapy from the comfort and convenience of your home, or wherever else you have an internet connection. With online therapy, you get deep with your therapist while sipping tea in your favorite comfy chair, snuggled in your pajamas, or between work meetings.

Individual Therapy Session

Work individually with a licensed therapist who will provide you with individualized mental health treatment. Whether you are seeking treatment for a mental illness, support for a recent life change, or help in a specific area of your life, individual therapy is just between you and your therapist. Therapy sessions typically occur weekly.

Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with BioLateral sound, which is deep, direct, powerful yet focused and containing.
