Biofeedback / Neurofeedback Therapists in El Cajon, CA

If you are having some difficulties in your life or are struggling with sadness, stress or other psychological issues; I am confident that I can help and/or find you the assistance that you need.

Hello, I’m Diandra, a Marriage and Family Therapist who has created a team of professionals to help individuals who have lost their voice or sense of self due to past traumas or societal beauty pressures learn to live authentically and in balance and peace not only with others but more importantly with themselves. With the utilization of an integrative approach, we can learn and understand all parts of the self. For over 10 years, we have worked with people who have anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, eating disorders, and relational problems.

We are the most seasoned state of the art Neurofeedback Center in San Diego. Brain Mapping, Neurofeedback and Neuromodulation is our PRIMARY speciality. Dr. Kakaiya is an experienced Integrative Psychologist who is BCIA Certified, which is the Gold Standard for training and certification. When you come to us, and allow us to work with the most beautiful organ of your body, we take that trust very seriously, and we will always treat you with care, dignity, warmth, all combined with the sophistication of a Neuroscientist. Dr. Kakaiya's favorite conferences are IMMH (Integrative Medicine for Mental Health) and ISNR (National Neurofeedback conference). She believes in keeping herself up-to-date with all the amazing innovation that is occuring in Neuroscience. Having a Postdoctoral Degree in Psychopharmacology allows Dr. Kakaiya to have depth of knowledge on how the brain gets impacted by medications. She has worked very collaboratively with MD's to change the medications, even reduce them, or even eliminate them completely. As a brain expert she has the pleasure of being a thought leader in the neurofeedback field.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience and received my Ph.D. from University of Michigan in both the child and adult tracks. In my practice, I have a highly experienced team who provide integrated, multidisciplinary, and holistic care for children, families, adolescents, college students, and adults. We collaborate closely with you to address your unique and multiple needs. We offer therapy and counseling, assessments, neurofeedback, expressive arts therapy, behavioral interventions, and in-home and in-school support. Our mission is to provide effective and evidence based interventions to empower you to be the best person you can be.

I offer Integral Recovery, revolutionary approach to recovery from alcoholism, addiction, and more. www.vitalpuma.com

El Cajon is a San Diego County city home to one of the largest concentrations of Iraqi Christians (Chaldeans) outside Iraq and one of the most significant Somali and East African refugee communities in California, as well as substantial communities from across the Middle East, making it one of the most culturally distinctive cities in Southern California and creating specific demands for culturally and linguistically competent mental health services. The trauma of displacement, war, and refugee journeys is a central concern in the local mental health landscape, and finding therapists who speak Chaldean Neo-Aramaic, Arabic, or Somali and understand the cultural and religious dimensions of these communities' mental health experiences is essential but consistently challenging. San Diego County Behavioral Health provides public services, and community organizations serve immigrant and refugee populations. Common therapy concerns include refugee trauma and PTSD, acculturative stress, religious and cultural identity in diaspora, family and intergenerational conflict between refugee parents and American-raised children, and the grief of displacement and community loss.
