Maliya does a great job connecting with my daughter and focusing on her needs. She is my daughters second try at a therapist and it was a match right away. She is also great at keeping the parent involved, bringing me in when needed. If I share an event that I think is important to discuss she ensures to incorporate it. And my favorite part is that she is treating her holistically how to protect her nervous system.
