Malaika has helped me see a lot of things in a different point of view. It doesn’t feel like I’m talking with someone who is going through the motions but is very attentive and wants what’s best for me.

Malaika Ward was a great therapist and I enjoyed her spiritual approach towards therapy. It wasn’t complete science but a more personal approach. She is a great therapist and I will use the things she taught me the rest of my life and pass it on to my sister and possible future descendants. ❤️
