About Our Practice
Lilac Therapy Center was founded in 2021 by Kristen Malora, Psy.D. and Emily Freedman, LCSW: two friends, mothers, and therapists who wanted to create a close-knit private practice where each client could be met with the individualized care and attention they deserve. Kristen and Emily have prioritized safety, compassion, and understanding, striving to create a therapeutic environment where clients can feel comfortable, listened to, and connected. Since its opening, Lilac Therapy Center’s team of seasoned and skilled therapists has grown to include experts in child/teen therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and individual therapy, allowing the whole family to be cared for at our practice – all under one roof.
At Lilac, we have intentionally created a very high-quality, comprehensive care experience for our clients. From your first phone call – where you will speak directly to one of our owners, ensuring you are expertly matched to the best-fit therapist – we hope that you will feel what we are trying our best to convey: you are taken care of. Through our online systems for paperwork, automatic billing, text appointment reminders, and options for telehealth or in-person sessions, we work hard to take care of as many of the stressful parts of the therapy process as possible, so you can focus on feeling better.
With a wealth of expertise under their belts, our therapists craft individualized therapy sessions that resonate with your unique needs, fostering a collaborative and empowering approach to your healing. Additionally, our therapists carry lighter caseloads, ensuring that they have the time, energy, and attention to give to each client that walks through the door.
We want the level of care that you receive at our practice to exceed that of a traditional therapy experience.
At Lilac Therapy Center, we are ready to support reluctant first-timers, coming to therapy after some procrastination; those who have tried therapy before and just haven’t found what they are looking for; and those who have done a lot of work to understand themselves and are looking to level-up their therapeutic experience.
When taking care of your mental health, you deserve the best. We are honored to walk along with you on this journey and to provide the landing place for your emotional wellness.
