Trauma-Informed Psychiatric Care for Adults

​

​

 

I’m Dr. Shweta Kapoor, a board-certified psychiatrist with a doctoral degree in clinical psychology. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or uncertain why their symptoms persist despite trying their best.

​

My approach is trauma-informed, patient-centered, and collaborative. I focus on understanding your experiences, supporting your nervous system, and guiding you to treatment options that feel safe, effective, and manageable—whether through therapy, medication, or a combination of both.

​

Many people reach out for psychiatric care feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or worried about what the process will be like. I’m Dr. Shweta Kapoor, a board-certified psychiatrist, and my goal is to offer care that feels safe, thoughtful, and respectful. I take time to understand what you’re experiencing and work with you to make sense of symptoms at your own pace—without rushing or judgment.

 

 

 

Qualifications & Training

 

I’m grateful to have had the training and experiences that allow me to integrate both the medical and psychological aspects of care.

​

• Board-Certified Psychiatrist (MD)

• Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PhD)

• Specialized training in trauma-informed psychiatric care

• Licensed to provide telepsychiatry in Arizona and Connecticut

​

This dual training helps me carefully differentiate trauma-related symptoms from other psychiatric conditions, so treatment is tailored to you rather than based on checklists alone.

The Doctor, The Human

​

I was born and raised in Chandigarh, India, at the foothills of the Himalayas. Growing up with a physician father and a history professor mother, I learned early the value of empathy, curiosity, and respect for others—lessons that continue to guide my work as a psychiatrist.

From a young age, I loved medicine and also explored my creative side as a portrait artist, a passion I continue today with charcoal, pastel, and oil paintings.

I chose an unconventional path, earning a doctoral degree in clinical psychology in addition to training in psychiatry. This journey deepened my love for both therapy and medication management, and for helping patients understand themselves in a safe, supportive space.

At home, I’m fortunate to share life with my supportive husband and two lively children, who remind me daily of the joys of curiosity, play, and connection.

I feel grateful to have found my calling and strive every day to help patients feel heard, understood, and more steady as they navigate their mental health journey.
