LMHC, 7 years of experience
Greetings! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida and the owner/CEO of Breaking BHAD Counseling, LLC. I am a US Army veteran and graduate of Webster University with a Master of Arts in Counseling (Clinical Mental Health Track). I have been practicing in various mental health settings for six years, working with diverse adult populations from a wide range of demographics. I am seriously passionate about helping people overcome challenges like addiction, anxiety, depression, adjustment to life after long periods of incarceration, and relationship issues.
During our first session, we will establish a connection, here is where you’ll have an opportunity to share what barriers keep you feeling stuck, and we'll discuss the strategies and techniques used as we work together to create a treatment plan that is specific to your needs.
One of my greatest strengths is my familiarity with the difficulties that many clients encounter as a result of trauma, incarceration, loss, dysfunctional relationships, and addiction. By connecting with clients on a deep level and not passing judgment, I can create an environment that is safe for healing and personal development. Every client gets effective therapy based on their own experiences and requirements because of my proficiency in combining several therapeutic methods.
I am best positioned to serve clients who have addiction, anxiety, depression, adjustment to life after long periods of incarceration, and relationship issues. My ideal clients are open to new ideas, eager for self-development, and determined to break through the barriers holding them back. Whether you’re a white, blue, or no-collar worker, I am here to assist you along your journey to becoming a better version of yourself.
At Breaking BHAD Counseling, I use a combination of Person-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients overcome negative thought patterns and provide a supportive and understanding atmosphere. Choice Theory/Reality Therapy promotes personal responsibility and successful choice-making, whereas Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) assists individuals in embracing their feelings. Solution-focused therapy aims to help clients imagine and accomplish their goals by providing them with actionable, future-oriented strategies.

When looking at the list of therapists to choose from, I felt an inviting energy with him. Once having our first session, it confirmed the energy I felt through the profile picture. Very inviting energy, able to be as vulnerable as I need to be. You can tell he genuinely cares.

I chose Malik based on his attributes and expertise which aligned with my challenges. Our session was inspiring because he related to my era and could incorporate pathways to solutions in my “language”. I feel strongly that I chose the correct therapist to help me on my journey of healing.

My session with Malik was incredibly warm, open-minded, and thoughtful. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable and safe to share openly. It was a space free of judgment, which allowed me to express myself honestly and reflect deeply. Malik offered insight in a way that felt supportive, not critical, and gave me meaningful points to consider as I work toward becoming a better version of myself. I truly appreciated the care and intention brought into our session.
