Tanya Malik

Counseling Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

“Columbia graduate specializing in marriage and family, physical intimacy, gender & sexuality, maternal health, depression, and stress.”

About Me

I offer a thoughtful space for individuals and couples navigating life's complexities. Drawing on my Columbia training, I guide clients through challenges in marriage, family, and physical intimacy. We also explore concerns around gender, sexuality, maternal health, depression, and stress. My aim is to foster understanding and find practical ways forward. Each session ensures you feel truly heard and supported.

Approach

Columbia training informs a practical, inquiry-based rhythm: sessions move between focused reflection, skill practice, and gentle tracking of patterns. In Bangalore or online, in English or Hindi/Urdu, I hold a calm, paced space where we set achievable goals and adjust tempo to your life. Work typically blends short psychoeducation, communication rehearsals, and targeted strategies for mood, stress, parenting or identity concerns, with brief between-session tasks to strengthen progress. Those navigating relationship shifts, parenting pressures, or identity questions often find this steady, collaborative way helpful.
