Coté, Malakai Ph.D.

I have worked with UC Davis students as a psychology doctoral intern (MIP-Academic track), CAN Counselor (serving the Cross-Cultural Center), and College Counselor. I have received extensive training in college student mental health. My work is guided by values of authenticity, cultural awareness/humility, interconnectedness, and people’s pursuit of wholeness. I am invested in supporting healing and providing compassionate, culturally relevant, and evidence-based mental health services for diverse UC Davis students. I use approaches that promote healthy and transformative masculinity, help people develop and sustain healthy relationships, assist folks in integrating past traumas to have the ability to be more present in daily life, and address the mental health impact of intersecting social oppressions. Third-wave, cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal theoretical frameworks inform my approach to psychotherapy. I work with clients from a strength-based, multicultural perspective. I am also trained in teaching yoga and mindfulness practices. Additionally, I have specialized experience working with transgender, gender non-conforming, and genderqueer students, as well as, working with students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, pansexual. I have facilitated trainings at T-Camp, a 3 day retreat for undergraduate and graduate transgender students and UC Davis' Trans* Awareness Days. I currently work with Gender Group on-campus. In the Sacramento community, I supervise doctoral students and I provide clinical training for Gender Health Center clinical trainees.
