Salt City Marriage and Family Therapy, PLLC was founded by Meaghan Malaney. As an experienced licensed Marriage & Family therapist with more than 15 years in the profession, she wanted to create a practice that aligned with her passion for systemic thinking. This passion started in the Marriage & Family Therapy graduate program at Syracuse University.
Interestingly, Syracuse used to be a major producer of salt and was lovingly known as the Salt City. What started as a novel interest in a new paradigm and place developed into a lasting love with systemic thinking and the city of Syracuse. The practice was named in homage to this intertwining of learning, love and community.
In choosing Salt City MFT, you'll be working directly with Meaghan Malaney. You'll receive her expertise in and dedication to facilitating a useful therapeutic process.
