Services
We offer consultations and treatment planning, grounded in integrative and functional medicine, to uncover the root causes of your condition, and guide you towards long-term healing. Our bodies are complex ecosystems. Every part of us is intricately connected, both to the world within and outside us.
Becoming a doctor was a natural choice given my love of science and helping people, and I easily chose psychiatry as my specialty: the brain fascinated me most of all, and I wanted to develop meaningful, long-term relationships with patients. But soon after residency, I started to question the standard approach in my field.
Unfortunately, we are unable to respond to inquiries for referrals for other integrative doctors. Thank you for your understanding. Our town - Portola Valley - is close to Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Los Altos, Redwood City, and Mountain View. If you are interested in scheduling an appointment with our clinic, please review our care parameters to make sure we're the right fit for your needs.
Soon after my psychiatry residency, I started to question the standard approach in my field. While medications and talk therapy certainly have their place, many of my patients needed more than conventional psychiatry could offer. I trained in the country's top psychiatric hospitals, but I didn't see patients getting well or thriving to the extent I believed they should.
Neurotherapy offers a medication-free, non-invasive way to promote the brain's ability to change and recover. Neuroplasticity - the idea that the brain can change - is a relative newcomer in the medical world. Whereas once the brain was thought to be anatomically fixed, there is now overwhelming evidence that the brain can regenerate and create new patterns of activity.

Dr. Chandra is the ideal one looks for in a functional doctor and I am thankful every day that I'm her patient. Not only is Dr. Chandra incredibly educated, intelligent, and capable but she is also remarkably kind and caring. She really connects with you personally and I feel like she knows me and my family well. I've always felt she is rooting for my success and wants the best for me.
Without the use of pharmaceuticals, Dr. Chandra was able to help rebalance my hormones, almost entirely reduce my anxiety, and help me reach an overall more stable place of health. When I first started

Wow, I feel like this office -- Dr. Chandra and her team -- gave me my life back.
I am so grateful that I heard about them from a woman I deeply respect, who had already done a ton of her own research regarding resources in the Bay Area for chronic conditions. She highly recommended Dr. Chandra's integrative approach to me, and I have been so grateful every day for this referral early in my journey. Her integrative medicine approach was just the right fit for me and how I wanted to go about restoring my health, following a stroke and the diagnosis with a chronic condition. Driven by my own data

Dr. Chandra has been life changing. My son has been diagnosed with seven disorders and prescribed over a dozen medications. After seeing some improvement in my son’s mental health and resilience after giving him OTC vitamins, we knew that Dr. Chandra would introduce us to better and more effective supplements. It has been four months and we can confirm her treatment has made a profound impact on my son’s mental health. Our journey will continue (likely) with more supplements but we are true believers in the power of natural treatments and the precision care provided by Dr. Chandra. She resolves

We are so impressed with how Dr. Chandra has looked at everything for me and my family. I've been suffering for so many years not knowing what is wrong with me. I was tired, fatigued and had anxiety and panic attacks. Dr. Chandra did extensive testing, and I finally got answers for what was wrong. My regular doctors just wanted to give me anti-anxiety medications. If we didn't find her, we wouldn't have learned about all of these things going on for me and my family.

Our family member has been suffering from various symptoms of psychological illness since the age of 12, and so for the past six years, we took her to every well known medical facility in the Bay Area to meet with the best psychiatrists available. Most of them were caring, well educated, and experienced doctors, but none of them were able to figure out what was wrong or help her get better. Without doing any type of testing for other diagnoses or even listening to many of our concerns about the lack of progress, all of them just prescribed her an endless string of antidepressants. These drugs were

My wife's life has been turned around ever since she started working with Dr Chandra doing Neurofeedback and Integrative Care. She went from someone who was very fragile and had little resilience, back to the woman I fell in love with. Neurofeedback has changed everything for us. I definitely recommend Dr Chandra's clinic and especially the Neurofeedback program to anyone who is suffering and looking for a non-pharmaceutical way to treat brain-based conditions.

I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Chandra this past year. Dr. Chandra is one the most compassionate, thoughtful, and wise people I have known. Her integrative approach to healing pinpoints the root cause of disease and utilizes individualized treatment plans to target each patient’s true needs.
Working with Dr. Chandra has completely shifted my perspective on health and healing. I witnessed patients with chronic, complex medical conditions experience improvement for the first time in years using treatments, such as nutritional supplementation and dietary changes, among other natural evidence

Dr. Chandra and her team are wonderful. I have worked with her for several years now to address multiple, complex health issues. She is extremely thorough, knowledgable, intelligent, compassionate, communicative, collaborative, and dedicated. She knows what she knows, but also knows what she doesn't know and can admit that. I tried a few different integrative doctors before I met with Dr. Chandra, but they either didn't have has much coverage as her, or they weren't collaborative partners in my health journey. There isn't an ounce of condescension in this office, which is refreshing

Dr. Chandra has helped me tremendously. I came to her feeling hopeless, depressed and anxious for answers after seeing 30 different medical professionals. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and kind. Her comprehensive and integrative approach helped me turn my health around. Everyone in her team is warm and responsive. I highly recommend Dr. Chandra and her team.

When I first met Dr Chandra, I didn't have a lot of hope. My son had been ill for years. It was quickly clear that Dr Chandra was in her own league. She detailed for us more than ten markers in his lab results that were clinically significant, and quickly led to a treatable diagnosis. None of the other five doctors I had consulted in the prior year found any meaning in his lab results.
As significant as the diagnosis, was the fact that Dr Chandra knew how to cure him. But it was difficult for my son to come to appointments. Not only could she deal with him, but her staff were a godsend. They found

I've worked with Dr. Chandra through some challenging and previously undiagnosed systemic infections that led to severe health issues. She and her team are fantastic and I can honestly say that I'm now in the best health of my adult life. I'm working with her now mostly on a maintenance basis, but my immune system is now functioning well, and I'm stronger and more active then I've been since pre-kids. Highly recommend Dr. Chandra and her data-driven, root cause analysis approach!
