Kiana Behnood

Dr. Kiana Behnood is a clinical psychologist with years of experience specializing in the treatment of children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. She has worked in a diverse range of settings across San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles County. Some of the main issues Dr. Behnood has helped clients overcome include generalized anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, Agoraphobia, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, substance abuse related concerns, and relationship conflicts between partners and families.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and depression and have adapted many real-world applicable strategies to cope better with the symptoms associated. Additionally, I employ a very casual, conversational approach whilst using humor when appropriate to make therapy a little less painful than it can be sometimes.

Patients working with me can firstly expect to feel better, but to also gain a meaningful understanding of where the maladaptive thinking and behaviors has come from. Why we use these strategies still and why/how to change them. Patients can also expect to work with a therapist who can adapt to their style and speed.
