These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Malliga Battar. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.

Amazing doctor

Written on Feb 09, 2026 after therapy with Malliga for 4 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, career difficulties, and adhd

Dr. Battar is most comforting, I was safe to express myself to her and she managed to help me understand and cope with my troubles. She has a very soothing voice and compassionate tone . I look forward to speaking with her when I feel confused or sad and even when I’m happy , she’s like a reminder I am not alone and my problems are rectifiable.

Work with me!
