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 eleven 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, therapeutic space where you can feel protected, accepted, and heard.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
