This page lists Female Family Psychologists in Chennai. 8 in all.
That is 8 of the 10 psychologists listed in Chennai.
These are practitioners who identify as female on their profile 1. We ask every therapist that question, and they may decline to answer. We do not check it.
This list answers an explicit request for a woman.
A client and a practitioner always differ; what matters is what that means to you and how you work with it 2. You can filter the same list by the languages a practitioner works in.
What family therapy works with
Family therapy works with the relationships between people rather than one person's symptoms. It is talking therapy aimed at improving relationships among family members 3. It can involve any combination of them.
Families come with conflict, separation, a child's behaviour, illness or bereavement. Some come with the strain of caring for someone. A therapist may also meet members on their own.
It is not a report for a court or a school. The therapist does not decide who is at fault. Ask a practitioner who they would want in the room.
If you are afraid of someone in your family, say so to the practitioner before any joint session is booked. Ask to be seen on your own first. The support numbers at the top of this page are for that situation.
What a psychologist does, and where assessment fits in
Everyone on this page is listed under the professional title psychologist. Psychologists apply the study of the mind and behaviour to assist people through difficulty. Clinical psychologists work with people of all ages, with families, carers, teams and communities.
Assessment belongs to a psychologist's training, and sits alongside therapy. Clinical, counselling and educational psychology are different training routes. Each route emphasises different work.
Which titles are registered varies by country. Where the title is registered, the register says what it covers. Ask a psychologist which route they trained through, and what they work with most.
What this page filters on
These are the only filters: the practitioner's stated Female identity, the specialism recorded as Family and the professional title psychologist.
