Getting to know Malekapukhrajbanu Qureshi

Hi there, I'm Malekapukhrajbanu! My name is Maleka Qureshi, and I am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with over 15 years of experience. I hold a Master’s in Rehabilitation Counseling from the Illinois Institute of Technology and a Master’s in Psychology from Gujarat University. I work with young adults and adults, offering culturally sensitive therapy in English, Urdu, Hindi, and Gujarati. My expertise includes mental illness, substance-related disorders, anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, school performance, and goal setting. I use various psychotherapy techniques to help clients overcome negative patterns and achieve personal growth, viewing therapy as a collaborative process where your strengths drive lasting change. My approach My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness techniques, and Culturally Sensitive Therapy. These methods help clients address negative thought patterns, regulate emotions, and develop skills for managing stress and anxiety effectively. I use CBT to guide clients in identifying and challenging distorted thinking, leading to more balanced emotions and behaviors. DBT complements this by teaching emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills, helping clients find balance in challenging situations. Mindfulness techniques encourage clients to remain present and aware of their thoughts and emotions without judgment, reducing stress, increasing self-awareness, and building resilience. This helps clients slow down, recognize automatic reactions, and respond in healthier ways. Culturally Sensitive Therapy ensures the process respects and aligns with each client's cultural values, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment. My approach is collaborative, emphasizing empowering clients to leverage their strengths and insights to achieve lasting personal growth and well-being.
