Dr. Irfana Patla

I am a dedicated clinical psychologist specializing in behavioral health, trauma therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and family systems. With a Doctor of Psychology degree, I bring years of experience in helping individuals and families overcome mental health challenges and build fulfilling lives. I am a clinical psychologist (PsyD) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over five years of experience in behavioral health, trauma therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and family systems. Having recently earned my Doctor of Psychology degree, I bring a unique combination of advanced psychological training and practical, client-focused expertise. My passion lies in supporting individuals and families as they navigate mental health challenges, fostering resilience, and empowering them to build fulfilling lives. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with a client-centered focus, addressing the unique needs of each individual. I have a particular interest in self-esteem development, trauma recovery, and mindfulness-based approaches. Beyond therapy, I am deeply passionate about advocating for mental health and gender equity. My mission is to destigmatize mental health challenges, with a focus on empowering people and fostering resilience across all communities. By addressing the unique ways mental health intersects with gender and societal expectations, I strive to create inclusive spaces where everyone feels valued and supported. I also draw on frameworks like Terror Management Theory to enrich my understanding of human behavior and deliver meaningful therapeutic outcomes.
