I help clients create meaningful change by combining evidence‑based approaches—such as CBT, DBT, ACT, trauma‑focused therapy, and strength‑based work—with a warm, direct, and culturally sensitive style.
Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and the people they care about. They may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, or patterns of codependency that keep them repeating cycles they’re ready to break. My ideal client is someone who wants relief, clarity, and someone who is tired of carrying everything alone and is ready for support that feels safe, grounded, and genuinely collaborative.

Hello, I'm Dr. Panicha. I specialize in working with neurodivergent and 2SLGBTQ+ children, teens, and adults, including those who are late-identified or late-diagnosed. Many feel burned out from masking, misunderstood by providers, or harmed by compliance-based care. Clients want clarity, validation, and support that honors who they are, not pressure to “fix” themselves. As a queer AuDHDer and 1.5-generation immigrant, I often work with clients navigating identity, cultural expectations, anxiety, trauma, and the impact of systems that were not built with them in mind.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to support growth through self-understanding, healthier communication, and relational healing.
When your sense of self feels tangled in family dynamics, past trauma, or the weight of others’ expectations, it’s easy to feel invisible—even to yourself. Many of the teens and adults I work with have spent years hiding parts of who they are to keep the peace or protect themselves. This can leave you questioning your identity, your worth, and your place in your own story. With an MS from California Lutheran University and a focus on trauma-informed care, I help individuals—especially those in the 2s/LGBTQIA+ community—begin to unravel these patterns and build more authentic, connected lives.

How do I know if my sexual behavior is out of control? For many men this question is very subjective and they unfortunately wait for a spouse, loved one or their employer to discover their hidden sexual life before considering help. At The Harvey Institute we believe the most important person to evaluate his personal conflict with regulating sexual behavior is the man experiencing the dilemma. We help men contemplate "What is your conflict with your sexual behavior?" and "What is your vision for your sexual health?" We strive to provide a safe, sexually informed and confidential space for sexual health conversations.
