Hello, my name is Alexander Malik, MEd, LPC-Associate, supervised by Bonnie Scott, LPC-S at Texas Counseling Center in Sugar Land. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology (2016) and earned my Master of Education in Counseling from the University of Houston in 2025.
I was born in London, England, and have lived in many different places, but the Houston and Sugar Land areas are where I’ve spent most of my life. I’m Irish and Pakistani, and growing up within both cultures has given me a deep appreciation for diverse experiences and perspectives.
In my counseling work, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, with a strong foundation in humanistic therapy—also known as person-centered or Rogerian therapy. I’m also experienced in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), particularly in working with clients navigating eating disorders. Additional areas of interest include trauma work, Relational Cultural Theory (RCT), and LGBTQ+ counseling.
Previously, I facilitated psychoeducational groups for individuals with eating disorders and completed a clinical internship with the Fort Bend County Juvenile Probation Department. My experience includes working with individuals, families, and groups, and I’ve supported clients ranging in age from 8 to 62 years old.
When I’m not in session, you can find me spending time with my two amazing daughters, reading science fiction, or playing video games. I also proudly served in the United States Marine Corps, an experience that continues to shape my commitment, resilience, and empathy in my work as a therapist.
