Deborah Malik

Hi there! I'm Debbie Malik, an LCSW with a heart for helping others. I hold an MSW from USC, where I graduated magna cum laude. Beyond my degree, I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. My practice offers a safe space to explore your unique journey to healing. I've had the privilege of supporting clients across various settings & populations. I've helped navigate issues such as depression, anxiety disorders, trauma, and more.

I believe in a holistic and person-centered approach to therapy. Your journey is yours to lead, and I'm here to provide the tools and support that fit your specific needs. I draw from therapies like DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and polyvagal theory to customize our sessions just for you.

Building a strong connection from the start is important to me. I genuinely want to hear your story. I understand it can be daunting to open up to someone new, so I prioritize creating a safe and trusting space where you can be yourself at your own pace. Many clients describe our sessions as feeling like a conversation with a friend. My clients often share how much lighter they feel even after just one session. My certifications ensure I can support you through even the toughest challenges.
