Great to meet you!

Welcome. I am Ouida Malik, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life complexities. I believe that healing happens when we feel truly seen and heard and building a trusting relationship. I believe that I have an intuitive capacity to listen with a third ear- to hear the meaning of a client's anguish and conceptualize my insights with empathy. I will utilize a holistic framework that considers the biological, psychological, and social factors shaping your life.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach blends Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, Attachment-based, Coaching, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Compassion and Emotionally Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered, Positive Psychology, Psychodynamic, Trauma Focused and Strength-Based approaches.

What you can expect from me

Therapy with me is collaborative. Outside the therapy room, I prioritize my own self-care to ensure I bring my most present, patient self to our sessions. " I love cooking, gardening, and working on challenges that I may encounter as a clinician and as a person; WE are not Alone."
