Culture as Medicine
You shouldn’t have to educate your therapist about your culture, your identity, or your nervous system. We offer culturally grounded care for Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, LGBTQIA+ folks, and neurodiverse teens and adults — and the couples and families who love them. Heal the roots in a space where you don’t have to over-explain yourself or your ancestry.

Is Malak Psychology a good fit for you?
Are you realizing you are LGBTQ+ in a conservative family and wondering how, or if, to tell them? Did you or your family immigrate, and you’re trying to process the culture clash? Are you navigating a potential marriage, growing your family, divorce, or re-partnering, especially if you come from different cultural backgrounds?
I am Dr. Iziz Malak (she/her/we/us), a licensed clinical psychologist and the owner of Malak Psychology. I support individuals, couples, and families locally in Scottsdale, AZ, and across PSYPACT states, New York, and internationally when appropriate via telehealth.
Whether you are seeking gender-affirming care using the WPATH Standards of Care, hoping to prepare for or integrate a psychedelic experience, or trying to heal the root causes of depression, anxiety, and trauma, I am here to help. I also provide psychological assessments for worker’s compensation, pre-employment, and diagnostic clarification (especially autism and ADHD). Executive functioning coaching is also offered.
Get started
Malak Psychology is rooted in liberation, decolonial, multicultural, and feminist psychologies. We weave evidence-based Western approaches with the ancestral wisdom of the Global Majority. Here, your culture isn’t a barrier to therapy – it is the medicine. You are empowered to forge your own unique path, and we are honored to serve as your guide as you connect to your inner wisdom and build the life you want to live.
