“You helped me more than my therapist has. You actually gave me coping skills that work.” - Makayla
This Program Is For You If…
You want to feel calm, confident, and in control
— without always worrying you’ll freak out or have a meltdown every time something goes wrong.
You’ve ever been called “overly sensitive,” and you’re ready to be seen for who you really are
—without having to hide how you feel or what you think to fit in.
You’re looking for reliable coping strategies that actually work
—without spending years in therapy or trying endless “MentalHealthTok” trends that never seem to stick.
I’m here to show you, and GUIDE you — because you so deserve that happiness, too.
Imagine how easy life would feel…
👍 Scrolling through your feed without that pit in your stomach, because you stopped comparing yourself to everyone else.
👍 Throwing on that new shirt you love, without needing the entire group chat’s approval before you head to the diner to meet them out.
👍 Seeing your message left on read, and staying cool – you’ve got better things to focus on, like memorizing your lines for the spring musical.
Now, I’m excited to share the same strategies I use with my counseling clients, so you can finally feel confident and ready for whatever life throws your way, too.
Hi!👋 I’m Mallory,
and I’m here to guide you and support you with finding the right coping skills for your mental health & happiness.
I’ll never forget the first time I heard about coping skills during grad school. Up until then, everything I’d heard was about vague “self-care” or “just being mindful.”
But NONE of that really helped when I was stressed, overwhelmed, and about to freak out. Until I discovered Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and it completely changed the game.
DBT didn’t just give me a list of strategies—it showed me exactly how to match the right strategies to specific struggles.
The results were incredible—and I am SO excited to share them with you, too.
How do you go from feeling stuck and insecure when you’re freaking out
➔ to knowing EXACTLY how to help yourself?

*NOTE: This is a guided self-help program and should not be considered a replacement for psychotherapy. Enrolling and participating in this program does not mean that I am your therapist.
I know what you need when your emotions run deep:
👍 You need strategies that actually work,
👍 Without dismissing your feelings–
👍 Keeping you grounded and confident, no matter what life throws at you next….
My Superpower?
Blending over a decade of experience as a licensed mental health therapist with DBT-informed strategies that actually help people manage intense emotions.
Why DBT? Dialectical Behavior Therapy was developed to support people dealing with overwhelming feelings, like chronic suicidal thoughts and self-harm urges.
It’s one of the top evidence-based therapies—meaning it’s backed by research and real results.
Tell me if this sounds relatable...
You're hit with something completely unexpected—a surprise group assignment 👨🏫, your coach snapping at you during soccer practice ⚽️, or you suddenly notice you're mysteriously un-added from your friend's Snap 🤔.
What if instead of spiraling into stress 🌀, overthinking the worst-case scenarios 🙇♀️, or even worse, triple-texting 📲 everyone you know to figure out what to do, this time you do things differently.
This time, you pause, breathe deeply three times, and sip slowly from your emotional support water bottle.
You'd have a much calmer, clearer approach to solving your problems.
Are You Ready For This?
🙋♀️ I am so ready to feel confident and calm, even when your to-do list keeps growing longer and longer and longer.
🙋 I am definitely ready to discover what I need to help myself feel better, without over-relying on others, and without freaking out when they can’t respond right away.
🙋♂️ I am more than ready to handle my emotions, without freaking out every time something goes wrong.

Still wondering if these skills can really help you?
Meet Makayla—
Before joining us in Your Calm Code, Makayla felt intense anxiety and panic attacks in crowded places, especially around unfamiliar people. She’d tried everything her therapist suggested, like deep breathing and positive thinking, but nothing seemed to really help. She was frustrated and worried she’d never find something that worked for her.
Then, after her first week in the program, Makayla sent this note:
Even before diving into all the lessons, Makayla finally felt the confidence and relief she’d been searching for—because she found ways to make the strategies work for her. This program can help you, too.
