Welcome to Dr. Thomas O' Malley, Psy.D. & Associates, where we are dedicated to providing compassionate, safe and effective therapy services. Our practice is founded on a unique combination of personal experience, academic excellence, and a deep commitment to helping individuals achieve lasting change and personal growth.
Dr. Thomas O'Malley, the founder of our practice, hails from the beautiful country of Ireland. His academic journey took him to the city of Oxford, where he completed his Social Work degree at the prestigious Oxford Brookes University. Dr. O' Malley lived and worked in London, Uk for 18 years and in 2001, he migrated to the USA. In 2006 he settled in Los Angeles. Dr. O' Malley obtained two Master Degrees in both Community Psychology and Clinical Psychology. Building upon this foundation, he furthered his education at the esteemed Chicago School of Psychology, earning a Doctorate in Psychology (Psy.D.)
Throughout his career, Dr. O' Malley has worked with diverse populations, including children, families, groups, and individuals struggling with chronic homelessness, and chronic mental illness including active addiction. This breadth of experience has shaped his perspective and fueled his passion for helping others to find hope and healing, cultivating his deep empathy and understanding of the complex issues individuals face in their lives.
Driven by a trauma-informed approach, he recognizes the profound impact that past experiences can have on mental health and incorporates evidence-based practices such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into his therapeutic approach.
In 2018, Dr. O'Malley opened his private practice with a vision of providing a safe and supportive environment where clients can embark on their journey towards healing. Since then, he has expanded the practice to include a team of Associate Marriage and Family Therapists working towards licensure.
These personal experiences have shaped his perspective and fueled his passion for helping others find hope and healing
