About Malikah
Malikah Duncan is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Washington with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and self esteem concerns. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, grief, addiction issues, and major life changes.
Her approach is warm and flexible. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps people can use between meetings. She adapts the pace and tools to each person's needs rather than using one standard method for everyone.
Over two decades Malikah has worked in many settings, including telehealth, independent practice, community mental health clinics, hospitals, military bases, detention centers, and schools. That experience includes supporting people from a wide range of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds and helping those who have experienced domestic violence and other forms of trauma.
She uses several clinical approaches to guide the work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods. She also has experience with blended family issues, family-of-origin concerns, multicultural matters, and young adult challenges.
Malikah emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and straightforward communication. She helps people set clear goals, learn coping skills, and build stronger relationships while honoring each person’s history and cultural background.
