I am Dr. Kanchi, a licensed clinical psychologist who is committed to helping youth and adults acquire the tools necessary to be resilient in the face of adversity. Resilience is the ability to cope, adapt to challenges, and 'spring back' from hardship, trauma, or other significant sources of stress. I use evidence-based strategies for a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and adjustment difficulties. I also focus on maternal mental health, physician wellness, youth athletes, and offer resilience skills training for kids, teens and adults. Please see: www.drkanchi.com for details.
Treatment is delivered from a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) lens, a gold standard treatment for many issues. Mindfulness, positive psychology and trauma-informed techniques are integrated. My approach is warm, strengths-focused, collaborative, and customized to your unique needs. Virtual & in-office sessions are offered for flexibility.
Education: Ph.D. and M.A.in Clinical Psychology, Loma Linda University, B.A. Psychology, UC Berkeley >> Internship - Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) >> Post-doctoral Fellowship - UCLA Semel Institute (for specialization in Trauma and Pediatrics) >> Former Employment: Outpatient Director of Clinical Psychology at UCLA Children's Heart Center
