Getting to know Dr. Malliga Obilisundar Delaney
Hi there, I'm Malliga! For 30 years, my efforts were spent helping children and families in the educational environment. I have experience working with children diagnosed with emotional and educational disabilities, including those with ADHD, anxiety, depression, conduct disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder, among others. Currently, my work focuses on psychotherapy with children, adolescents, and adults. I have sensitivity and experience with cultural issues, diversity, women's empowerment, and the effects of aging. I earned my Master's Degree in School Psychology and my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Walden University. My desire is to help others find joy in their lives, appreciate their uniqueness, and reach their goals in a safe, nonjudgmental, and trusting environment.
My approach
I utilize an eclectic approach, integrating mind and body wellness techniques. In most instances, I focus on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.
My focus
I am interested in working with all age groups. I am sensitive to cultural differences and those struggling with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues.
My communication style
My style is soft-spoken, with a tendency to listen and allow the patient to take the lead. I strive to be empathetic and understanding of my clients' struggles.
My journey to therapy
One of my sons once said, "Life is hard." It broke my heart to hear a young child view life that way. It is true, however-life can be difficult. If I can help people who are struggling to feel better and navigate life more easily, I would feel satisfied.
My goals for you
It is important that clients collaborate in establishing their goals. Occasionally, I check in to assess progress and offer my perspective.
My first session with you
The first session is meant to establish rapport and get to know each other.

I had several sessions with Dr. Malliga Obilisundar Delaney PhD. The sessions weren't exactly bad. They felt disconnected. For me a red flag was that she did not remember anything in her dissertation. Which I read before our session. She also did not remember my oral history from session to session, and I do not mean small nuances. She also did not ask many questions during our sessions, nor did she help guide the conversation. Again, they weren't exactly bad. They also weren't great. I did not feel she connected empathetically me as a patient.
