Mousumi Mallik

Mousumi Mallik is a counselor licensed in Ohio as a clinical mental health counselor and clinical supervisor. She earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Bowling Green State University and is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Counselor Education and Supervision at the University of Toledo. She has three years of professional counseling experience in Ohio and more than two decades of work in human services across Uganda, India, and Northwest Ohio.

Having moved to the United States to pursue a career in clinical counseling, she has worked with people ranging in age from 4 to 92, including college students, a population she holds close to her heart. Her years as a teacher provide a practical foundation for her work with children, and she is experienced in supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Mousumi has a special interest in assisting individuals with severe, persistent mental health issues and those facing crisis situations. As a cancer survivor, she also brings personal insight to supporting clients who have been diagnosed with cancer, are undergoing treatment, or are living as survivors of serious health conditions.

She works with individuals, teens and adolescents, couples, and groups to address concerns such as anxiety, PTSD, depression, crisis, substance use disorder, personality disorders, and other mental health challenges. Her approach is trauma-informed - meeting clients where they are and helping them build resilience and confidence to manage and overcome life’s difficulties.

Living and working on three continents has contributed to her multicultural competence and informs a therapeutic style that blends feminist, humanistic, and person-centered perspectives. She uses narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused techniques to create attainable treatment goals, guided by core values of kindness, compassion, empathy, and humility. Conversations and treatment plans are tailored to each person’s unique needs.

Mousumi finds meaning in giving back through her helping profession and is committed to treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She supports clients as they take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.
