Geethika Pillai, PhD

Dr. Geethika Pillai is a clinical neuropsychology fellow whose work is grounded in the belief that minds that work differently deserve to be deeply understood, not simply pathologized. With clinical expertise spanning neuropsychological assessment and psychotherapy, she specializes in working with neurodivergent individuals, those navigating ADHD, autism, learning differences, and complex behavioral health needs.

Dr. Pillai’s educational journey has spanned three continents, shaping a rich, culturally attuned lens that informs her clinical care. She completed her high school education in New Delhi, India, before participating in an academic exchange program in Germany, where she studied biomedical sciences. Driven by a passion for psychology and human behavior, she then moved to the United States to pursue higher education, earning her Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, followed by both her Master’s and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (with a concentration in Neuropsychology) from the California School of Professional Psychology. Her training has taken her through medical hospitals, community clinics, and private practices, equipping her with a unique ability to meet patients where they are, across developmental stages and cultural contexts.

At the heart of her work is a passion for helping individuals who have felt misunderstood, unseen, or “too much” finally feel heard. Dr. Pillai brings a powerful mix of scientific precision, heartfelt advocacy, and deep human curiosity to every clinical encounter. She is committed to co-creating spaces of safety, clarity, and growth, where people can reclaim the narrative of their minds.
