Dr. Mona Chandra is a nationally recognized expert and licensed clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in:

·       Trauma Therapy

Dr. Chandra is a leading authority in the treatment of PTSD and Complex PTSD, particularly in adults recovering from chronic and complex childhood trauma. Her work centers on survivors of interpersonal trauma—including physical, sexual, emotional abuse, and neglect—and she is known for her deep clinical knowledge, compassionate presence, and results-driven care. With extensive training in evidence-based modalities such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), she brings a trauma-informed, collaborative approach that acknowledges how trauma reshapes the body, mind, and sense of self.

In the field of sports psychology, Dr. Chandra is a trusted expert for athletes seeking to elevate performance and overcome mental barriers. She works with individuals at every level—from youth to elite professionals—to strengthen their mental game, enhance focus, and build emotional resilience. Her approach blends gold-standard mental skills training—such as visualization, neutral thinking, and emotional regulation—with therapeutic insight to support both athletic performance and broader personal growth. She helps athletes navigate competition stress, burnout, identity shifts, and post-injury recovery with a full-spectrum, person-centered lens.

As an expert evaluator, Dr. Chandra conducts comprehensive psychological assessments for children, adolescents, and adults. Her evaluations clarify complex diagnoses—including ADHD, learning differences, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and behavioral concerns—and translate findings into clear, actionable recommendations. Her reports support meaningful change, whether it’s through school accommodations (e.g., IEPs, 504 plans), workplace supports, or informed treatment decisions. Dr. Chandra views assessment as a powerful tool for self-understanding, empowerment, and long-term success.

Whether guiding someone through trauma recovery, helping an athlete reclaim their edge, or providing clarity through thoughtful evaluation, Dr. Chandra is recognized for her clinical precision, depth of understanding, and unwavering commitment to those she serves.
