Kanan Kapila LSW
Kanan Kapila, LSW, is a dedicated licensed social worker who strives to provide a wise, compassionate, welcoming, and culturally conscious space where therapy can help cultivate our capacity for meaningful life, career, and relationship experiences. By bringing awareness to emotions in relation to thoughts, psychotherapy amplifies our ability to respond with kind inquiry and authenticity in our actions. Kanan’s therapeutic approach creates a safe environment where clients can explore their inner worlds and develop the tools necessary for personal growth and transformation.
With an integrative orientation toward psychotherapy, Kanan Kapila centers her practice on combining Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Somatic Therapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Mindfulness modalities. This comprehensive approach allows her to tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs, providing insight into the patterns that our personalities form, including behaviors and beliefs about ourselves and others, which are often shaped by our pasts and early experiences. Through this integrative framework, Kanan helps clients generate growth and live more vital, fulfilled lives that balance work, play, love, and service.

Additionally, Kanan has a special interest in working with creative individuals, helping them harness their artistic potential while managing the unique challenges they face. Her focused, practical, solution-based approach guides clients through their healing and self-realization journeys.
