Great to meet you!

Welcome to Rooted Therapy and Consulting, a specialized practice exclusively for women ages 30 and older.

Are you navigating a life transition that has you feeling stuck? Perhaps you’re living with regrets about the past, frustration with the present, or worry about the future. If you are looking for a space to reclaim your clarity and move through your 30s into midlife, I would like to help.

Hi! I'm Malika. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work from The University of Georgia. With experience in hospitals, hospice, and behavioral health, I believe true wellness includes mental, physical, and spiritual wholeness.

I specialize in supporting women as they navigate the complex shifts of midlife—from establishing healthy boundaries to balancing the dual demands of raising children while supporting aging parents. My practice is a dedicated space for you to prioritize your own well-being and find your way forward with confidence.

My approach to therapy

Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge limiting patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to anchor you in your core values, we will work collaboratively to bridge the gap between where you are and who you are becoming. My approach is deeply person-centered and solution-focused, ensuring that our work isn't just about 'venting'—it’s about creating a sustainable, intentional rhythm that honors your expertise and your evolution.

What you can expect from me

In our time together, I aim to create an environment where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Each session is an opportunity for you to be heard, valued, and supported. My goal is for you to leave each encounter feeling affirmed, validated, and one step closer to realizing your aspirations. Whether you're navigating challenging emotions or life transitions, I am here to accompany you on your path to healing and self-discovery.
