 by Trisha Sikder

Mahalakshmi is direct, she doesn't dance around topics. She is a great psychologist.

 by BALASUBRAMANIAN RAMASWAMY

I found the interactions very pleasant and relaxing. Dr. Mahalakshmi gave a pleasant hearing and assessed my problem good enough in the first meeting itself. She had also suggested some ways deal my problems with counselling and audio tapes. Thanks a lot. Hope to have this journey for some more time.
