Clinical Director- Mehik Malik (She/Her), MA, LPC, EMDR-t
Mehik works with adults who are ready to move beyond simply understanding their struggles and start creating meaningful change. She specializes in trauma, anxiety, self-worth, anger, substance use, and difficult life transitions—particularly with clients who tend to overthink, intellectualize their emotions, or feel stuck repeating patterns they already understand.
Her approach is warm, genuine, and direct. Drawing from EMDR & Internal Family Systems (IFS) integration, CBT, and DBT, Mehik helps clients slow down, look beneath the surface, process what they've been carrying, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. She believes therapy should be supportive enough to feel safe, but challenging enough to help you actually move forward.
She is also passionate about working with men and members of the South Asian community, particularly around identity, relationships, cultural expectations, boundaries, and self-worth.

Whether you're processing past experiences, managing anxiety, exploring your neurodivergent identity, or seeking support for your family, Sara would love to connect with you.
