Dr. Malak is an exceptional psychologist whose expertise and compassionate approach have greatly impacted my life. Her ability to create a safe and supportive environment allowed me to explore my thoughts and feelings with honesty and vulnerability. Through her guidance, I gained valuable insights and developed effective coping strategies to navigate life's challenges. I am immensely grateful for her dedication and unwavering support, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking professional psychological care.

EDIT: I accidently put 2 as Punctuality in my previous review, so re-posting it with correct rating. In fact, Dr Malak is extremely punctual and honestly at times has given me more than the allotted time.

Dr. Malak is a magnificent practitioner.

Before seeing her, I was looking for a therapist who could aid me in coping with ongoing mental health symptoms due to trauma.

However, her empathy, understanding and therapeutic practices are world-class.

Dr. Malak's staff and secretary are also friendly and excellent at time-management solutions.

Dr. Malak is a very compassionate professional. She truly cares about her patients and her job and she understands how sensitive her role is in her patients lives and she always levels up to the responsibility, in every possible way. I've worked with Dr. Malak and her clinic for almost a year and it's been a very pleasant experience, they were with me through the darkest times of my life and they were there for me whenever and however I needed the most. I can't thank her and her staff enough!
Thanks Dr. Malak for all the support, guidance, friendship and knowledge you have to offer!
Thanks Valerie for being on-top of all the scheduling and the paperwork support!

I have been seeing Dr. Malak for about 6 months now and she has helped tremendously. I originally came to her for help with alcohol and feeling like I could not control the amount of alcohol I was consuming when going out. Dr. Malak was so understanding and helped me identify the reasons why I was drinking so much and how to recognize it before hand. She was never judgemental and was so encouraging even in the times where I felt like I wasn't progressing. Her calm and comforting demeanour are so great and really helped me open up. I feel so much more in control of my drinking habits and happier overall now that we've addressed the root cause that we actually discovered stemmed into different aspects of my life, as well. I would 1000000% recommend Dr. Malak.

I have been a client of Dr. Malak’s for several years. I am always impressed by how safe and open I feel during appointments with Dr. Malak. She works extremely hard to create a comforting and non-judgmental environment where I feel I can talk about anything. She is incredibly supportive and encouraging, and will believe in you even when you don’t always believe in yourself. She goes out of her way to help you in whatever way she can. She helped me overcome a period of severe anxiety and depression years ago by giving me tools to redirect my negative thoughts, and I still use those tools today. I highly recommend Dr. Malak!

Its been a few months since I last saw her and I notice the improvements I made have lasted. I thought she was just outstanding. She also strikes as being an extremely ethical person, and thus was confirmed to me when she refused to continue taking my money once we agreed I have accomplished my goals and my improvement stabilised. Even though I was very happy to pay for more sessions, she said she wanted me to have the chance to see that I can do this on my own without her while reassuring me she will always be here cor me if I need. Her team too. Valerie. Just outstanding.

After spending some time away from therapy, I reached out to Dr. Malak and her team to see if I could return to their practice as a client. Both Dr. Malak and Valerie were very receptive and accommodating to my request, and it felt encouraging to be able to resume our therapeutic connection. Even though it had been years since we had last spoke, and many facets of my life had changed, I felt as if I could pick up where we left off. Dr. Malak is incredibly kind and attentive, and makes me feel heard and validated in our sessions and as a human being. I trust in Dr. Malak's professional guidance, and she has given me the tools I need to take with me on my own personal healing journey. For me, the experience that I have had with Dr. Malak has been invaluable, and I am so thankful for everything that she does!
