Kaleidoscope Mental Health, PLLC
Sarah Malak, MSW, LCSW, EMDR Certified Therapist, EMDR Consultant-in-Training, Registered Play Therapist™
Healing from trauma is not about erasing the past—it's about learning to see your inner world with clarity, compassion, and new perspective. Like a kaleidoscope, the mind holds many parts—some fragmented, some forgotten, all essential.
At Kaleidoscope Mental Health, PLLC, we specialize in evidence-based approaches like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), parts work (Internal Family Systems and related models), CBT, and play therapy to help you gently reconnect with these parts and reprocess painful memories. Our work honors the complexity of trauma and the strength it takes to face it. With each shift in understanding, new patterns emerge—bringing resilience, integration, and hope.
​
Together, we can make positive changes.
Services
I provide telehealth (online therapy) services only. I do not currently have a brick-and-mortar establishment.
​
Telehealth takes place over a secure platform where we can see and hear one another as if we were in the office, but you can be anywhere (in the state of Illinois, as long as you're not driving!) for our sessions.
​
I am licensed in the state of Illinois, and as such, I am only able to meet with clients when they are also in Illinois.

My Approach
The most important ingredient to effective therapy is a strong therapeutic relationship, where you feel safe, understood, and supported. To that end, the beginning of therapy aims to meet that need. You wouldn't want to wear uncomfortable shoes--you need a therapist you are comfortable with as well. It's just that important.
​
I am client-centered overall, and I utilize evidence-based practices including EMDR, parts work, CBT, play therapy, and others to help you to meet your unique goals for therapy in our work together.
