Purna Datta - Find a Psychologist

I have been doing psychotherapy and psychological assessments of children, adolescents and adults (including elderly population) for more than 25 years. I have many years of experience working with the intellectually challenged and mentally ill population both in the community and hospital/forensic settings. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist and have experience as an Internship Supervisor for doctoral students for 10 years. I conduct forensic evaluations for the courts in California for both the juvenile and adult cases. I have long experience of successfully using evidence based CBT in treating anxiety disorders (with or without panic attacks) and depression. Also, I have training and experience in using EMDR, and/or PET along with CBT for treating patients diagnosed with PTSD.
