My name is Maleka Qureshi, I am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). I have specialized training and working experience with adolescence and adults with Intellectual and developmental disabilities. I provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services. I speak English, Urdu, Hindi, and Gujarati. I have over 10 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. The majority of my experience has been working with young adults and adults with dual diagnosis of mental illness, substance related and addictive disorders. I have provided therapy to individuals as well as support to their families. I also have experience helping individuals with phobia, stress and anxiety, anger control problems, low self-esteem, family conflicts and couple/ relationship counseling. I have a passion for helping others achieve more fulfillment and balance in their lives. My approach is to combine different types of psychotherapy and counseling techniques to help you discover and unlock negative thoughts, and patterns of the past, which will allow you to focus on the present and feel more fulfilled and achieve your goals for the future. It is my experience that my clients know themselves better than anyone, they are their own (and my) best resource when it comes to treatment. I see therapy as a joint venture where our knowledge and skills are combined to create solutions. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Maleka Quereshi is friendly, polite, and thoughtful. She listens to her clients individual needs and responds with highly intelligent answers. She is willing to spend additional quality time with her clients and provides outside accessable resources and real-world advice for relevant therapy options. She takes fully into account extenuating circumstances and is willing to make adjustments to her schedule to meet her clients individual needs. Maleka provides a broad understanding of a vast variety of walks of life. Her own world experience is not a hinderence for a personalized therapy. In fact, she is so well versed that she can successfully make helpful logical advice based scenarios from almost any religion or make the same points utilizing alternative tools. Besides being hard working and we'll educated, she has an admirable amount of empathy that can make her relatable to almost anyone. She has bright eyes, a youthful soul, a big heart, and a wise mind. She has my recommendation 100%.
