Mallory Hemerlein

Mallory is an LCSW with over seven years of experience supporting couples, families, and individuals. Licensed in New Mexico and New York, her work focuses on helping clients navigate life transitions, particularly those experiencing trauma, anxiety, and depression. She believes clients are the experts of their own lives and is committed to providing compassionate, collaborative care that supports healing and sustainable growth. Mallory is fluent in American Sign Language and spent many years studying and working at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. She is passionate about providing culturally responsive care to Deaf and Hard of Hearing clients directly in ASL. As a lifelong learner, she completed a year-long training program with Dr. Gabor Maté, deepening her understanding of trauma and mind-body healing. She has also spent the past two years training in a direct lineage of Dora Kalff in Jungian Sandplay Therapy. Mallory founded Hot Rocks Psychotherapy Group to expand access to community-centered, high-quality behavioral health services. The practice is grounded in collaborative growth, continuous learning, and meaningful connection. Her leadership model prioritizes clinician sustainability and professional development while supporting client autonomy, resilience, and long-term wellbeing—reflecting the mentorship and training standards that shaped her clinical career. Originally from Maryland, Mallory has had the privilege of traveling and working across the country and has called New Mexico home for over a decade. Outside of work, she enjoys floating in glacial lakes, roller skating, dancing, and planning her next adventure to hot springs.
