A note from Malliga
With over 20 years of experience in mental health field, I help individuals move from surviving to living with purpose, safe and emotional clarity. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness‑based methods, and Motivational Interviewing to address trauma, substance use, depression, anxiety, online addiction, and the impacts of sexual abuse. I work with both survivors and individuals who have caused harm to others. If you’re ready for a space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside you, and move toward meaningful change, I welcome you to reach out.
