In the heart of a world often torn by conflict and strife, Peace Forge Consulting emerged as a beacon of hope and healing, founded by two remarkable individuals whose life experiences and professional expertise uniquely positioned them to make a profound difference. Dr. Laeeq, a US Army veteran and a board-certified physician, alongside Dr. Mahrukh, a pioneering female in peace psychology and a fellow of the American Psychological Association, embarked on a journey to create a company that embodies their shared vision of a healthier, more peaceful world.

​

Dr. Laeeq's journey, marked by his distinguished service in the US Army, endowed him with a profound understanding of global affairs and the complexities of healthcare stateside and globally. His experiences in the military and in diverse communities around the world ignited a passion for serving those who are often left behind, especially veterans who have sacrificed so much yet face numerous challenges upon returning home. His medical expertise, combined with a deep empathy for the underserved, became the foundation upon which Peace Forge Consulting was built.

​

Dr. Mahrukh's path, characterized by her groundbreaking work in peace psychology, brought an invaluable dimension to their mission. Her extensive research on the psychology of extremism and her writings on the motivations behind such ideologies have been instrumental in shaping the company's approach to mental health and societal healing. As a female pioneer in her field, Dr. Mahrukh's leadership and expertise in NLP, hypnosis, mental health, and life coaching have been central to developing programs that not only address individual needs but also foster community resilience and peace.

​

Together, Dr. Laeeq and Dr. Mahrukh witnessed the ravages of extremism in their countries and understood the Herculean task of rebuilding societies on the brink of collapse. They saw how easily communities could crumble and spiral into further extremism without intervention. This shared experience and their unique blend of medical and psychological expertise became the catalyst for Peace Forge Consulting.

​

Peace Forge Consulting is not just a company; it's a mission to heal, empower, and rebuild. It stands as a testament to the belief that healthcare and mental well-being are pivotal in nurturing peace and preventing the descent into extremism. Through their telehealth services, they bridge the gap to access for underserved populations, including veterans, ensuring that no one is left behind. Their work in health information technology brings innovation to the forefront of healing, while their commitment to mental health services offers a path to recovery and resilience for individuals and communities alike.
