Getting to know Samir Malik

Hello! A pleasure to meet you. My name is Samir Malik, and I am a practicing Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Counseling from Phillips Graduate University. I am a very emotion-focused therapist who utilizes psychoeducation, insights, and active listening to navigate sessions with clients. I work with anyone going through any sort of emotional experience and/or struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, grief, sense of self issues, relationship issues, or anyone attempting to improve any aspect of life and looking to explore developing themselves to meet the needs of their desired outcomes. My approach I am an affect/emotionally focused therapist. I like to help clients understand the principles that govern our emotional condition and to help clients understand the inner workings of how feelings and emotions operate. Many of us were never taught to understand our own feelings or why we might struggle with them as much as we do, nor how we can navigate improving these states or what usually gets us stuck. I want my clients to feel like they are beginning to understand how they can help themselves through any situation or adverse experience by understanding some basic principles about emotional and mental health. My goal is to help you make your feelings, emotions, and thoughts less of a mystery and to feel like you have the tools to begin experimenting with how you can improve them. Ultimately, I want to help make your situation make more and more sense to you, as well as give you space to process the difficult feelings that come up along the way. My focus I work with anyone who is desirous of working through whatever issue they are navigating and who is ready and willing to be challenged in all the right ways to move forward.
