My name is Dr. Hassan Abdul-Malik. I have a master’s degree in social work, a second master’s degree in public health administration, and a doctorate in health administration. I have over 30 years of experience. Though I have worked on all aspects of social work, my forte is substance abuse. I am a recovering heroin addict myself, and I know the special hell caused by addiction. If someone had caused me all the hurt and pain that I caused myself, I would’ve hired a hitman to shoot them. I have been through the fire. I want to help people get out of the fire and restore quality to their lives. Sobriety can change a person forever; I am living proof of this.

My education has been focused on studying perspectives on personal development and emotional well-being. I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Comparative Human Development from the University of Chicago and my Master’s degree from the Columbia School of Social Work. Before working in private practice, I provided therapeutic services in a range of settings, including community mental health centers, NYC public schools and group practices.

I specialize in helping adults with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, trauma, and complex trauma.

** My practice currently prioritizes clients in the Mid-Hudson Valley and those in direct service and helping professions, such as therapists, teachers, first responders, veterans, healthcare workers, and essential and frontline workers. **

I'm a trauma and EMDR therapist and LCSW licensed in New York and Connecticut, with eight years of experience rooted in crisis work. I've worked with families facing hardship and people in corporate and executive careers, and I have experience in disaster mental health and in critical incident stress management for first responders. I understand people under the highest levels of stress, both personally through my own experiences, and professionally.

I don't believe trauma has to be something we simply live with, or something that defines us. When we look at ourselves through a nervous system lens, we start to see a nervous system that adapted to survive, and one that can learn to do something new.

A self-regulation approach asks, "How do I calm myself down?" A capacity approach asks, "How can I build a nervous system that doesn't need to be calmed down every time life gets hard?" That second question is where I work. I start with the body and emotional experience before cognitive understanding, which helps us reach what's hard to put into words, leading to real shifts.

Welcome, I’m Dariela Vasquez, a first-generation Latina (Dominican) woman living in New York State. I often work with women who, on the outside, have it all together but, on the inside, feel alone, disconnected, and stagnant. Women who often feel overwhelmed and anxious, and yet still show up for others. I help women choose themselves and grow a life that reflects their soul’s expression. I have over 10 years of experience holding space and guiding women as they grow confidence in themselves, their decisions, & in their relationships. I empower women to love themselves and embrace their power, the choice to choose themselves.
