I am 40 years old female and for the past14 years, I was struggling with psychological issues that were vaguely put under the umbrella of depression. I had visited many psychologists but I had never received any detailed information about my problems and I never felt understood. It was a coincidence that I came to know about Dr. Mala Murlidhar. I took the appointment and from the very first session, I felt that I am in good hands. She quickly understood my language and summarized it exactly I way I used to feel. She crafts her words very positively. I found her very professional. And the best part was that my session didn’t end on any sympathetic note. I decided to continue with the therapy and it proved to be the right decision. After Three sessions Dr. Mala diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder and put me under cluster B personality types. I had never heard about these terms before. I read about it and I was surprised and shocked at the same time. Surprised about the accuracy of the diagnosis and shocked about the fact that how come no one ever managed to find it out. I knew always that I struggle with fear, loneliness and extreme mood swings. But I never knew the whys. I was always asked to look at the outside environment to fix. But since that was never an actual problem so those fixers never worked. I am right now taking regular therapy sessions from Dr. Mala and I am really feeling more aware of myself. She focuses on the roots of the problem rather than the external environment. And above all, she uses a very professional and emphatic approach to treatment. I go through ups and downs but I firmly believe that with the right help I will sail through it. I am optimistic about my future only bcoz of Mala. Thanks a lot.

Dejections come from a place of fear, have confidence in your journey so far and don't worry because of false what-ifs- one line that Dr. Mala said and it hit my problem straight. That's my takeaway, she's been a great counselor. Totally recommend her!

I looked up clinical psychologists in Feb 2021 on practo and read feedbacks for a lot of doctors. I was certainly impressed by the reviews Dr Mala had got and decided to consult her. Needless to say she has been my savior ever since. I went to her when I was neck deep in the water. I had been served a divorce notice by my husband and I was in shock. I wanted to save my marriage at any cost. But my marriage was disastrous and I was very unhappy in it too. I was confused. I had my share of childhood trauma that hadn't been resolved and that was carried into my marriage. So I went to her shattered and depressed not knowing what to do. All I got from her was immense support. She explained my behavioral and emotions patterns, my core schema that I had developed of myself as a child and other things that helped me know myself better to work and heal myself. Its been 2 months now and I've seen quite an improvement in myself when it comes to confidence, inner strength and grit; which were all nil before I met her. She have me confidence and strength to believe in myself. Mental health is so important and we all often neglect it. And so did I for a long time. Although i still have a long way to go, I'm confident that Dr Mala will be there along the way to lend me a helping hand. She's very friendly, highly Empathetic, very patient in listening to what one has to say and she always spoke to me beyond the time allotted. I thank her for her immense support.

Dr. Mala was extremely patient while listening to our problems, the sessions we had with her were mostly focused on my partner. But on one of the days, I was feeling extremely confused on a possible path forward. So, I hi-jacked my partner's session to talk to her about my own problems. The problem was that I had put up a huge wall b/w myself and [my-family, friends, colleagues] so that I could support my partner better by spending majority of my time with her. This was a wrong strategy as I was not happy with myself and since I was not happy, I could not help my partner properly. So, to tackle the problem, Dr. Mala suggested that my partner is in a weak state and to support her I have to be strong. But I was also weak as I was not leading a life with good quality. So, I needed to improve the quality of my life first to become strong and then I can be capable of actually supporting my partner. This advice in an approximatley 40m session made me understand the missing piece as I later came to manage my life better with help from Dr. Mala and lectures from Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. And now, my dynamic with my partner is so good that it reminds me of the initial few months (maybe better now) of our 7y long relationship. Thank you so much Dr. Mala for helping us out! One thing that I believe Dr. Mala can work on is simplifying the process of scheduling an appointment, it is through whatsapp texts and it involves too much back and forth messages. And for someone, who is dealing with such serious issues, it can be quite frustrating.

4 months ago I realised I was experiencing anxiety attacks. I used to have irrational fears, my mouth would go dry, I would cry, have palpitations and it was all quite scary. Then I decided to take help. This is when I visited Dr. Mala. From the day I met her, I knew I could trust her to get me back to my normal self. After listening to what I had to say, she talked to me about how I can changes things around for myself if I put in a little effort. I followed everything she told me to. Gradually, I could notice that my symptoms were reducing, I was becoming more confident, I started bonding with my family members more and a lot of positive changes came around. Today, after 3 months of therapy, I feel a lot better than ever before. Although my anxiety isn't full gone, I feel like I'm in control of what I feel. I would like to thank Dr. Mala for guiding me in such a friendly manner and for helping me recover without any medication, but therapy.

When doctor Mala informed me that I am suffering with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Identity Crisis I was not shattered because she filled me with hopes and positivity to get over with it. She supported me when I was correct and showed right path when I was wrong. She is very friendly , very good motivator, and a very good human being . There is a noticeable change inside me after the first session started in september and still going on. Thank you doctor.
