Samir Malik

My communication style

I create a warm and understanding environment. It takes courage to ask for help, and I honor that in our sessions. How I show up depends on the relationship we create together. My goal is to understand your situation completely through sustained questions and provide feedback when necessary or desired by you.

My journey to mental healthcare

Goal setting is a collaborative process based on what we come to understand together in sessions. Once I have a basic understanding of your issues throughout the first few sessions, I'll share how I feel I can help and how we can approach these issues. If you like the approach, we'll continue the journey together.

My goals for you

I was an unhappy child with an extremely difficult relationship with my own experience of life. I desperately sought answers to my problems and experimented with a large list of interventions, practices, and theories. I experienced large levels of change and relief, which sparked a passion for healing that has stayed with me ever since.

Our first session

I'll go over formalities around our work together, such as communication, logistics, confidentiality, and mandate reporting. Then I'll give you the floor to share what brings you to therapy. I'll ask follow-up questions to understand your situation. Before the end, I'll reflect on what I understood and how future sessions could look.
