“Dr. Kanchi is one of the best psychologists that I have worked with to date. As a psychologist, she is thoughtful in her approach, evidence-based in her management, and incredibly skilled in the delivery of cognitive behavioral therapy and integration of other treatment modalities. Perhaps the greatest quality about her is that she truly cares about every patient she sees. I would trust Dr. Kanchi with a family member because she is that good!”

Co-Founder and Medical Director of Perinatal Psychiatry for the Maternal Outpatient Mental Health Services (MOMS)

“I have had the honor of working with Dr. Kanchi for nearly a decade.  I have to admit that she has made me a true believer of the benefits of psychotherapy.  She joined our pediatric heart transplant team and made an immediate impact.  Many of our patients have gone through distressing medical interventions and have significant PTSD as well as medication noncompliance issues.  In many cases this would make them a non-candidate for transplant, but with the help of Dr. Kanchi and her dedication to her patients, she made a lifesaving difference to all of them!  I would recommend Dr. Kanchi without hesitation to my patients and even my family members.  She is tremendous!!”

““I have collaborated with Dr. Kanchi for several years to help our transplant patients and families adjust, cope, and process their thoughts and feelings about chronic illness. Dr. Kanchi has excellent clinical skills, builds rapport quickly, and I saw first hand how her expertise helped our patients and families through challenging circumstances. She is an extremely skilled psychologist and I couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Dr. Kanchi has a fantastic knowledge of the field of psychology and her level of care is unparalleled. For these reasons I continue to refer my patients to her and the feedback is unanimously positive; Dr. Kanchi’s clients thrive from her compassion and expertise and it is an absolute pleasure to collaborate with her.”

— Linslee Egan, M.D.

“Dr. Kanchi is one of the most skilled clinicians I have worked with. Years of experience in trauma and treatment of children with life threatening medical diagnoses make her a highly sought after clinician. She is warm, empathic, and works collaboratively with families to cultivate their strengths. She is a true gem!”
