About Me

Hello & Welcome!

I’m Dr. Bhakti. I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a specialization in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology.

I provide evidence-based psychological assessment and treatment to children, teens, and young adults who experience mental health difficulties. I have further experience working with youth with chronic medical conditions (e.g., cancer, diabetes, sleep disorders, chronic pain, neurological disorders, etc). I help youth and their families overcome the challenges of adjusting to and coping with an illness, and assess, diagnose, and treat comorbid mental health problems (e.g., anxiety, depression, medical trauma) and developmental delays.

Please see my Clinical and Research pages for more information about my professional background and training.

The Why

My mission is to empower children, parents, and families to create happy and healthy lives, encourage personal growth and development, help build resilience and live value-driven lives.

I write articles that translate scientific evidence and research in the field of clinical child and pediatric psychology into digestible tips, advice, and knowledge. I also share my thoughts and reflections on topics related to personal growth and development. Lastly, I am a complete bookworm, and so I share snippets and notes from books that I read, as well as wisdom quotes that help ground me during tough moments.

Thank you so much for exploring my website!
