Green Pastures Healing & Recovery
Audrey Malacara LPC, CSAT-Candidate

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of North Texas and am currently ABD (All But Dissertation) in my PhD program at UNT. With more than eight years of clinical experience, I bring a blend of advanced training, grounded clinical skill, and heartfelt compassion into the therapy space.

​

My approach is faith-integrated, relational, and deeply human. I believe we were designed for connection—and when connection is ruptured, pain often shows up in the form of symptoms such as addiction, OCD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health struggles. I view these not as defects or failures, but as meaningful signals of deep relational wounds that long to be understood and healed.

​

In the therapy room, I create a space that is both safe and challenging. I offer warmth, empathy, and steadiness—while also lovingly challenging clients when growth requires courage, honesty, and change. I believe real healing happens when compassion and accountability walk hand in hand.

​

While my own framework is faith-integrated, I deeply respect the religious or non-religious presentation of every client. Therapy is always centered on your values, your beliefs, and your goals. Faith is never imposed—it is thoughtfully and respectfully integrated only when it aligns with the client’s desires and worldview.

I work extensively with individuals and couples navigating betrayal trauma, addiction recovery, compulsive behaviors, relational disconnection, and the survival patterns that form in the wake of deep hurt. My passion is helping clients move from shame and self-protection into restoration, emotional safety, and a renewed sense of identity and worth.

​

Healing is not about perfection—it is about connection, compassion, and reclaiming softness where hardness once felt necessary. It is an honor to walk alongside clients as they rediscover hope, rebuild trust, and learn to experience themselves and their relationships with greater courage, gentleness, and truth.
