Great to meet you!

Hi, I am Malak Alsaidi, a licensed clinical therapist in New York. I'm a warm, down-to earth therapist who believes therapy should feel like a space, where you can truly be yourself- without judgement and without the pressure of having to feel you need to have everything figured out!!

My approach to therapy

With over 14 years of experience in social work field and more than five years as a licensed therapist, I've supported people through trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions and those moments when you simply feel stuck. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you understand yourself more deeply and work with you towards making meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will work on discussing what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns you may have at your own pace. My focus is on getting to know you as a person, understanding your unique experiences, and identifying strengths that can support your growth. Therapy isn't about fixing you- you're not broken. It's about finally having a space where you don't have to hold it all together.
