Introduction

My name is Mallery Ivy-Higgs, Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice where my niche is providing individual therapy and sports performance counseling to adolescence, athletes, and adult populations (ages 14-35). A native of Omaha, Nebraska, I hold residency in Atlanta, Georgia. I earned my Bachelors of Psychology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) and a Masters in Community Counseling from Argosy University, Atlanta. I am a licensed and nationally certified professional counselor with over nine years of mental health clinical work and over 30+ years coaching and mentoring experience. WHY CHOOSE ME? Because I can relate. I am a Therapist, who is a former Student-Athlete, Coach and Mentor. I am a 3 Sport High School Letterman (basketball, volleyball, track & field, and youth gymnastics). After high school, I ran track at UTK on a full-ride scholarship - Go Vols. I have been inducted into four sports Halls of Fames, served in the community and coached/mentored Youth and High School Track & Field. My practice focuses on helping individuals break down barriers which can impede your success and overall well-being. As a former high performing student-athlete, I can empathize with the pressures, stress, anxiety, depression, body image and acute/chronic injuries that can negatively affect life, and/or challenge performance. As a coach and mentor, I’ve worked to empower personal development and help individuals unlock their full potential to maximize performance. I continue to mentor many individuals, which include some of my former athletes, in addition, advocate for diversity and cultural inclusion. I view the therapeutic alliance as a partnership. My goal is to create a nurturing, non-judgmental, and confidential therapeutic space where you can feel protected, accepted, and heard.
