I became a psychologist because someone once listened to me properly.

I’m Laureta Maliqi, a licensed psychologist based in Ferizaj, Kosovo. I hold a Master’s degree in clinical psychology and I have six years of practice behind me, working with adults and young adults — in clinics, in community mental-health settings, and now in my own practice.

Most people who come to me are not in crisis. They are tired. They wake up with a tight chest, lie awake at 2am with a mind that will not stop, or feel a panic they can’t explain in the middle of an ordinary Tuesday. What we do together is slow down that loop until it becomes understandable — and then workable.

I work in Albanian and English, online with clients across Kosovo, the diaspora, and anywhere else the time zone allows. Therapy with me is structured but never rigid: we agree on what you want to change, we track whether it’s changing, and we adjust honestly if it isn’t.
