Welcome. I am Lori Carol Maloy-Writer, Counselor and lifelong lover of stories
I believe that healing often begins with understanding--and that both counseling and storytelling offer sacred ways to make sense of our inner world.
Whether I'm sitting with a client in the quiet space of therapy or writing characters onto the page, my heart is always asking:
What does it mean to be human here?
How do we tend to what hurts, and find our way forward into gentleness?
I have the heart of a counselor and the soul of a writer. Reading has shaped my life. Writing helps me make meaning. Faith keeps me anchored. And therapy gives it all a place to land.
Here you'll find pieces of all that:
- 
Reflections from my counseling work 
- 
Book reviews and character studies 
- 
Mental health resources and blog articles 
- 
Short stories and novels--both reflective and fictional (including my Galactic Heritage series!) 
- 
Children's Books 
- 
And news on my upcoming novels and Anxiety book 
If you're curious, weary, healing, need encouragement, or just love a good story-- you're welcome here.
You can subscribe to Porch Light Pages for bookish reflections, mental health encouragement, and soulful glimpses behind both the pen and the practice.
