More About Malita Whitson

Hi – I’m Malita. I’m a Licensed Social Worker who is passionate about helping children, teens, and families navigate life’s challenges with confidence and support. I believe that every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and empowered, and I strive to create a welcoming environment where clients can safely explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

My professional experience includes school-based mental health, crisis intervention, case management, and trauma-informed care. I have worked closely with children and families facing a variety of emotional and behavioral concerns, providing clinical assessments, individualized treatment planning, and evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. My goal is to help clients build practical skills, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with families, schools, community partners, and multidisciplinary care teams to support positive outcomes for those I serve. I am especially passionate about youth advocacy and expanding access to quality mental health care. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or your child, I am committed to walking alongside you with compassion, understanding, and encouragement every step of the way.
