Great to meet you!

My name is Dr. Hassan Abdul-Malik. I have a master’s degree in social work, a second master’s degree in public health administration, and a doctorate in health administration. I have over 30 years of experience. Though I have worked on all aspects of social work, my forte is substance abuse. I am a recovering heroin addict myself, and I know the special hell caused by addiction. If someone had caused me all the hurt and pain that I caused myself, I would’ve hired a hitman to shoot them. I have been through the fire. I want to help people get out of the fire and restore quality to their lives. Sobriety can change a person forever; I am living proof of this.

My approach to therapy

CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction. Changing clients' thinking to change their behavior

What you can expect from me

Ability to improve their quality of life and better deal with life on life's terms.
