Blerita Mulliqiu is committed to guiding her clients toward their full potential and well-being. As a recent graduate of LIU with an M.S. in Mental Health Counseling, Blerita collaborates closely with Edward Afful at Urban Light Psychiatric NP, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for individuals, couples, and families to resolve inner conflicts and alleviate everyday stressors. During her tenure as a mental health worker at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, she effectively assisted clients through crisis management using prevention techniques and coping skills. In these challenging times, Blerita has provided a comforting and compassionate presence to clients affected by COVID-19. Her therapeutic style is person-centered; she attentively listens to clients' concerns and utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help identify patterns of thinking, ultimately collaborating with clients to develop solutions to minimize unsettling feelings and outline steps forward. Outside of her professional life, Blerita is passionate about hiking, having conquered mountains in Iceland and several locations across the Westchester area, often accompanied by her two dogs. The mindfulness and affirmation techniques she embraces during these adventures are essential components of her approach as a dedicated mental health counselor.

Formerly known as Diaon Clarke, the founder of Embrace Peace Counseling Services, she embodies the belief that there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside.

Her mission is clear: everyone deserves to enjoy the lives they lead, and each person is worthy of a fulfilling life.
