Geethika Pillai, PsyD, LMHC-A

Dr. Geethika Pillai’s work is grounded in the belief that minds that work differently

deserve to be deeply understood, not simply pathologized. With clinical experience

including supervised administration of neuropsychological assessments 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.
