Mona Chandra, Psy.D

Dr. Mona Chandra is a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in:

• Trauma Therapy
• Sports Psychology
• Psychological Evaluations

Dr. Chandra is known for her warm, relational style and her ability to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel truly seen and heard.

Dr. Chandra is particularly passionate about helping adults heal from complex and chronic childhood trauma. She has extensive training in the treatment of PTSD and Complex PTSD, with a focus on survivors of interpersonal trauma such as physical, sexual, emotional abuse, and neglect. Her approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). She understands that trauma is not just about what happened but how it continues to live in the body, relationships, and sense of self.

In addition to her trauma work, Dr. Chandra specializes in sports psychology, helping athletes strengthen their mental game to enhance performance, build confidence, and manage the unique pressures of competition. She works with athletes across all levels—from youth and high school to collegiate and professional athletes—offering support with focus, motivation, performance anxiety, injury recovery, and mental resilience.

Dr. Chandra blends evidence-based mental skills training—such as goal setting, neutral thinking, visualization, and emotional regulation—with deeper therapeutic insight to address both performance-related challenges and the broader emotional demands athletes face. She offers full-scope support—addressing sport-specific hurdles such as competition anxiety, burnout, and injury recovery—while also providing personal therapy for challenges beyond the game, including stress, relationship issues, identity questions, and overall emotional health. Dr. Chandra takes a holistic approach that supports the whole person, helping athletes build the resilience, clarity, and confidence needed to thrive—both on and off the field.

Dr. Chandra also provides comprehensive psychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. These assessments are designed to clarify diagnoses such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, learning disorders, and behavioral concerns. Her evaluations are thorough, personalized, and aimed at offering clear, actionable recommendations to guide treatment planning, academic or workplace accommodations (such as IEPs, 504 plans, or extended testing time), and decisions about medication or other interventions. Whether the goal is better understanding, support in school or work settings, or access to appropriate care, Dr. Chandra believes a well-conducted evaluation can be a powerful tool for self-awareness, advocacy, and growth.

Whether she is walking alongside someone in the aftermath of trauma, helping an athlete get back in the game, or offering clarity through assessment, Dr. Chandra brings deep compassion, understanding, and clinical skill to every interaction.
