Sivakumar Sundaram, MD
I work primarily from a psychodynamic perspective with a focus on the therapeutic relationship and incorporate principles from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I completed my undergraduate degree and medical school at Harvard University, with time in between spent working as a wilderness therapy guide for adolescents. I am currently in my final year of psychiatry residency at UCSF.
