Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, trapped in cycles of unhealthy behaviours, or the impacts of past trauma? Do your emotions lead you to engage in patterns you wish you could break? I can understand these feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and what seems to be uncontrollable, and I'm here to make them easier. If you are looking for clarity on why you feel this way and want to regain a sense of control or stability, now might be the time to reach out to a therapist who can help. Understanding your emotional and behavioural patterns is the first step toward change, and I am here to guide you through this process.
With over 7 years specializing in anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma, I have developed an understanding of how these issues can intertwine and complicate one's life. Together, we will explore the roots of your struggles, providing you with the knowledge and strategies to not only cope but thrive. Whether it's managing emotions, overcoming addictive behaviours, or healing from emotional pain, my goal is to empower you with the awareness and resources to move forward confidently. Reach out to discuss how I can support you.

Welcome to my virtual therapy practice! I'm Malik Smith, and I'm here to support you. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you achieve your personal goals, and improve your overall quality of life. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other mental health concern, we'll navigate these challenges together.
Our first session will be about getting to know you—understanding what brings you to therapy and how your concerns impact your daily life. This initial meeting sets the foundation for our work together. In our ongoing sessions, we'll focus on psychoeducation, skill development, emotional exploration, and collaboration. I specialize in addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, addictions, men's issues, self-esteem, social anxiety, social isolation, stress, suicidal thoughts, and trauma. I believe in your inner strength and capacity for growth. Together, we'll uncover this strength, help you navigate tough times, achieve personal growth, and enhance your overall well-being. Book a free consultation and take the first step to a better, more fulfilling life.
