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.

Highly recommend. She is tenured, well-educated, respectful, trustworthy, and has a comforting approach in her technique used to provide therapy. It appears her road to success began with pure intentions and you can tell she has passion for her work and wants the best for her clients, and has a knack to give them tools to better their circumstances.

Maleka is a kind soul who obviously enjoys helping people. I was immediately comfortable talking to her and knew immediately that she was a good fit for me. She would likely be of benefit to anybody.

Maleka is calming and grounding. No matter what I am going through, she is non-judging and caring. She has a healing presence and I am grateful to get to work with her.
