I am a double-board certified psychiatrist, specializing in both Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and General Psychiatry. Based in Los Angeles, my training has taken me through some of the most respected institutions, including UCLA, USC, Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), and the Veterans Administration. These experiences have shaped my approach to care, blending the latest research with a deep, compassionate understanding of my patients' unique needs.
I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, and I am committed to providing a safe, supportive environment for you to explore and address your mental health. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, or neurodivergence such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD, I'm here to walk with you every step of the way. My goal is to create a treatment plan that's tailored to you, with the hope of empowering you to not only overcome challenges but to thrive.
Through active listening and thoughtful questions, I hope to make a difference in each of my patient's lives for the better. Breaking down the stigma of mental healthcare, providing an open-minded nonjudgmental physician-patient relationship, and helping each individual find ways to reach their own goals are passions of mine.
“I have been seeing psychiatrists for the last 10 years and no doctor has been as fantastic as Dr. Kunam. She really listened to my concerns and we discussed treatment collaboratively. I’m so happy to have found her!”
