About Punit
Punit Mahendru is a California psychologist with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Hindi and approaches each person with respect and compassion.
Her work emphasizes clear, practical conversation. She listens to what matters most and then tailors sessions to fit those needs. Conversations center on what a person wants to change and small steps they can try between meetings.
She uses several therapy styles to match different problems and preferences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people in clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when feelings are painful. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice the present moment and calm intense emotions.
Punit also draws on existential ideas to look at meaning and life direction, and Imago Relationship Therapy for couples and relationship dialogue when that is relevant. She has worked across many life stages and situations, including caregiving stress, chronic illness, divorce and isolation.
If you are facing a life change or persistent low mood, she aims to build a plan you can try in daily life. To begin, follow the site’s process to match and schedule a first session.
