I am a licensed psychotherapist with a compassionate and eclectic approach to care. I integrate evidence-based theories and techniques tailored to each individual’s unique needs, helping clients navigate emotional, behavioral, and performance-related challenges. My therapeutic philosophy centers on rediscovering strengths, building resilience, and empowering clients to grow and thrive.
I earned my Master of Social Work degree from The University of Texas at Arlington, specializing in Mental Health and Substance Misuse. I am licensed to practice in Alabama, Georgia, and Texas, and I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Sport and Performance Psychology from The University of Western States, focusing on mental performance consulting and resilience training for athletes and high performers.
I completed my clinical practicum at Millwood Psychiatric Hospital in Arlington, Texas, gaining experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds. Before my career in mental health, I played professional baseball internationally in Mexico, an experience that shaped my understanding of discipline, teamwork, and mental performance.
Welcome from the Founder
Welcome! I'm Dr. Chandra, a pediatrician and the founder of Preferred Medical Group. My family and I are proud to call Alabama home, and I've had the privilege of caring for this community since 2007.
As a pediatrician, I've always been passionate about providing the best care for children, but I recognized the need for both primary care and mental health services, which is why I've made it a priority to offer these services alongside pediatric care in my practice. It's important to me that every family has access to comprehensive care in one place, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to support the health and well-being of our community.
It's truly an honor to be trusted with your family's health, and I'm grateful to serve this community with the love and care that it deserves. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives — I look forward to supporting you and your family for many years to come.
