About Gorjia

Lonely. Invisible. Unseen.

These just begin to describe how you feel about yourself lately.

You’re always tired, withdrawn, and trying to tolerate the pain. In the worst moments, your thoughts run dark about yourself and others.

Life is dull at best, but intolerable when all this flares up. You suspect that others know something is off, but no one is stepping up to help. You’ve prayed, but it seems God isn’t really listening.

Half the time you worry, the other half of the time, you just don’t care anymore. If snapping out of it was an option, you would have done it a long time ago..

Real Change is Possible

Here’s where I come in: What you need is a connection. A relationship that will serve as a catalyst to insights and realizations you have been missing. Sometimes we need help to gather all of our feelings, thoughts, beliefs, histories, and dreams in order to speak them out loud and make sense of them.

Together, we’ll work to understand what got you here and teach you to think about life differently. You’ll gain tools and learn strategies to get you out of those stuck places.

My goal is to help you share your story and your light with the world. 

When We Share Our Story, We Heal

Hello, I’m Gorjia Malik, AMFT. And working with people who are eager to cultivate growth and healing in their lives is my passion. When we heal, the ripple of change in our lives is exponential.

I work with clients of all ages to create lives where they can live authentically and freely, unapologetically, powerfully, and to find fulfillment in the day to day. 

Through research proven techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I can help you process experiences, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change. 

More About Me

I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard, which is why I take a Person-Centered Therapy approach, creating a safe and supportive space to explore challenges with empathy and respect.

My approach is rooted in creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences with compassion, curiosity, and without judgment.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy reading, discovering new foods, and traveling, always seeking out great coffee spots and deep conversations. 

 I see clients of all types, however here are some of my specialties:

  • People in their 20’s
  • Child & Teen Therapy
  • Parenting and Co-Parenting
  • Depression and Anxiety

 

  • Grief and Loss
  • Trauma
  • Life Transitions
  • Spirituality 

Whatever your current struggle is, I am confident we can partner together to make the changes you are looking for.

Life’s challenges—whether anxiety, stress, loss, or past experiences—can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. There is hope, and with the right support, you have the power to heal and move forward.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to create the change you’re looking for.
