Sapna Doshi, Ph.D.

Dr. Sapna Doshi is a licensed clinical psychologist and the Founder and Director of Mind Body Health. Having served as a clinician on several NIH-grant-funded trials during her training, she is deeply committed to bringing science-backed treatments directly into the therapy room.

Dr. Doshi’s therapeutic approach draws heavily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She expertly uses ACT to help clients uncover where the avoidance of emotional distress may be driving their physical or mental health struggles.

She strives to provide a warm, inviting, and highly validating space for healing.

GLP-1 Support, Bariatrics & Weight Management

Navigating weight management can be an incredibly complex emotional journey, particularly for individuals with a long history of chronic yo-yo dieting, weight loss, and regain. Dr. Doshi provides nuanced, compassionate behavioral support for clients dealing with weight concerns, exploring bariatric surgery, or actively utilizing GLP-1 medications.

OCD & Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)

When OCD or BDD takes over, it can feel like you are battling your own mind. Dr. Doshi provides targeted treatment utilizing the gold-standard Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) alongside cutting-edge Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT). She helps clients recognize when they are getting pulled into an imaginary “doubt bubble,” empowering them to resist compulsions, quiet the harsh inner critic of BDD, and reclaim their time and energy.
