About Me
Mallory Kurkosky
MA, LPCC, RPT-S
I am a highly trained and experienced Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Supervisor, with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Bethel University. I am the Co-Director of the Children’s Mental Health program at Life Development Resources, where I provide individual outpatient therapy to children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I recently started teaching at Bethel University as I thoroughly enjoy igniting the passion for play therapy amongst therapists, and I also supervise those on their LPCC and RPT licensure track. I have extensive training in various evidence-based therapies, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S) and trained in DC:0-5 to work with children under five years of age. In addition, I have a special interest in working with individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, abuse, trauma, spiritual concerns, parenting, attachment, and relational issues. I am passionate about providing effective and compassionate therapy to clients, helping them to navigate difficult life experiences and find healing and growth. With my diverse range of skills and expertise, I am able to provide individualized treatment plans tailored to the unique needs of each of my clients. I am dedicated to helping individuals of all ages to achieve greater emotional well-being, develop positive relationships, and lead fulfilling lives.
The mission and vision of this company were inspired by my experience on a mission's trip to a safehouse, where I witnessed the significant challenges they face in accessing mental health resources. It’s alarming that, on average, a woman returns to her trafficker seven times. My mission is to secure funding that enables me to travel and offer education, training, and resources to safehouses. By doing so, I aim to reduce this statistic and provide the comprehensive support that these women truly deserve. My goal is not just to rescue, but to restore.
