Maliya Smith, LPC

Psychotherapist
IL
Hey Hey Hey! My name is Maliya Smith and I am a master’s level licensed mental health clinician with over 7 years of experience. However, I have been intuitively counseling and working as a healer my whole life. I have worked with various populations and multiple settings from working as a domestic violence counselor, with college, highschool and middle school aged students, with families, couples and toddlers. As a therapist, I counsel from a holistic perspective, therefore when working with my clients we will look at their experience through a multidimensional framework. This process will allow you to understand your layers of generational and childhood trauma, maladaptive behaviors, beliefs and repressed emotions; while being able to analyze how this all plays out in your daily life. I use person centered, psychoanalytic, interpersonal, somatic based interventions, mindfulness meditation and yoga. I am also a certified kemetic yoga instructor, therefore I incorporate deep breathing, postures and movements (by request) to help heal subconscious multigenerational wombs. My goal is to empower you holistically by allowing you to understand that life is not happening to you, you are the co-creator of your own reality and you can be your own healer, I am just a tool to help you see it
