Eleanor M. Malinoski, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker | Trauma Specialist | EMDR Trained

Eleanor Malinoski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly two decades of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. She offers counseling services for adults, with a specialized focus on trauma recovery—particularly for healthcare professionals navigating high-stress, emotionally demanding environments.

Eleanor earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Wofford College in 1999 and her Master of Social Work from the University of Southern Indiana in 2006. After completing three years of rigorous postgraduate supervision, she became a fully licensed clinical social worker and has since built a career that spans both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings.

Eleanor is EMDR-trained and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), drawing on a range of trauma-informed practices to help clients process difficult experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and reclaim a sense of safety and well-being.

In 2021, Eleanor began volunteering with the Emotional PPE Project, offering pro bono therapy to healthcare workers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, she has become a dedicated advocate for the mental health needs of healthcare professionals, continuing to speak out and support those on the front lines of care.

Grounded, empathetic, and deeply committed to client care, Eleanor creates a safe and supportive space where healing can begin.
