Poonam Ishanpara, MA, PsyD
Poonam Ishanpara is a licensed clinical psychologist who has been practicing for 8 years. She completed her undergraduate studies at The University of Iowa with degrees in Psychology and Pre-medicine. She earned her Master’s and Doctoral degrees in clinical psychology with focus in Health Psychology from Adler University in Chicago, IL in 2013.
Her clinical experience includes work within hospital centers and long-term care facilities. She focuses working with adults (18+) including the elderly experiencing depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, life stage changes, stress, health & wellness. Her approach to psychotherapy draws heavily from her training in cognitive-behavioral therapy, but also draws on various other disciplines as she believes there is no one-size fits all when it comes to psychotherapy.
In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, health and fitness, traveling/adventures, mindset work, and dancing.
