At Aikhya Health, we offer holistic psychiatry and psychoanalysis for children, adults, and families. Our work is grounded in collaboration - developing a relationship built on trust, curiosity, and understanding.
Meet Dr. Sindhura Kunaparaju, MD
I am a Double Board-Certified Adult, Child, and Adolescent Psychiatrist and Psychoanalyst. My approach weaves together psychiatry, neuroscience, and psychoanalysis to reach the root of emotional struggles. Every person’s journey is unique, and true healing begins with understanding what lies beneath the surface.
My mission is to help people see themselves more clearly and to find balance, connection, and meaning along the way.
- ✓ Board-Certified Adult and Child Psychiatrist
- ✓ 8 years of specialized training in Child and Adult Psychoanalysis
- ✓ Over 10 years of experience in child psychiatry, adolescent psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and preventative mental health
I believe true healing begins when we're understood—as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms.
Psychiatric symptoms are often signals - expressions of deeper emotional experiences. I go beyond symptom management to support whole-person wellness by focusing on the core aspects below.
Biological
Sleep, hormones, nutrition, genetics.
Psychological
Thoughts, emotions, resilience.
Relational
Attachment, parenting, family.
Cultural/ Spiritual
Meaning, values, identity.
