Dr. Kyana Barakett is an intuitive Los Angeles based Clinical Psychologist who has created a dynamic approach to healing by weaving together psychoanalytic, somatic, hypnotherapy, and bio-field therapy with the aim of integrating all facets of the Self for people and their animal companions. Her interest in culturally informed, integrative, whole-body practice has led her to work with adults interested in developing a therapeutic relationship that can facilitate emotionally transformative experiences.

Dr. Barakett’s curiosity about the mind - body - spirit connection continues to fuel her ongoing education focused on integrating and releasing unconscious emotion on all levels, and on tapping into one’s innate ability for healing. She is a certified Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) practitioner, has completed in-depth clinical hypnosis trainings through the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis (SCEH), has studied an abundance of clinically validated breathwork, and meditation practices, and obtained her certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the Wright Institute Los Angeles.

Kyana’s passion for the immense healing animal relationships can provide started at a young age, spurring over a decade of fostering and rehabilitation for cats and dogs. Animals are compassionate, keenly attuned witnesses in the healing process, and it’s a true joy to invite them in. One of her greatest passions is to help those she works with deepen their relationship with their subconscious, intuition, companion animals, and the natural world. Dr. Barakett is a member of the American Psychological Association Human Animal-Interaction: Research and Practice Division.
