in our time together, let’s pause, be present, and connect to all that arises, and invite your natural intelligence to unfold the path to healing.

I am Dr. Kyrie Sankaran, and I am glad you’re here.

With over 25 years of experience in the field of psychology, my work has centered on depth-oriented psychotherapy for adults. My training is rooted in psychodynamic and emotional-focused therapies, with certification in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) through the IEDTA. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and feelings of low self-worth — helping them move toward clarity, connection, and emotional freedom.

Earlier in my career, I specialized in early childhood mental health, offering clinical services, consultation, and training for parents, professionals, and therapists. While this background continues to inform my work, my practice is now centered on supporting adults through individual therapy.

Practice Update

My Ojai office has now closed. I continue to work remotely with my current clients. I am currently on sabbatical and am not scheduling appointments at this time. I do not have a definite end date for my sabbatical.
