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!)

  • 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.
