Getting to know Dr. Kulwinder Singh

Dr. Kulwinder (Karan) Singh is a licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Psychological Healing, Inc. Dr. Singh is an expert in applying evidence-based treatments, which are gold-standard therapies that have the strongest research support. His core goal in therapy is to create a space for healing and self-growth by establishing a deep connection with his clients through empathy, active listening, and non-judgment. During this process, Dr. Singh teaches clients the most effective skills and tools to improve their mood, relationships, and self-understanding. He also focuses on making observations and sharing his insights into his clients’ thought processes and behaviors they may be unaware of. Ultimately, Dr. Singh believes that a strong relationship between him and his clients, while using the most effective cutting-edge treatments, is essential for healing and growth. As a bicultural person of color, Dr. Singh also provides a multicultural perspective in understanding his clients’ experiences and difficulties. Dr. Singh considers therapy a success when his clients meet the goals that they establish for themselves, can clearly identify improvements in their quality of life, and have developed strong skills and tools to maintain long-term well-being. By the time therapy is complete, many of Dr. Singh’s clients experience significant improvements in their mood, relationships, motivation, and greater connection with what is meaningful and valuable in their lives.

What should a new client know about working with you?

A new client should know that working with me means entering a supportive, respectful, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space grounded in empathy and collaboration. I place a strong emphasis on building a meaningful therapeutic relationship, as I believe healing and growth are most effective when clients feel truly understood and supported. My approach combines warmth and active listening with clear guidance, insight, and practical tools to help improve mood, relationships, and overall self-understanding. I work primarily with evidence-based, gold-standard treatments that have strong research support, and I am intentional about helping clients learn skills they can continue using long after therapy ends. As a bicultural person of color, I bring a multicultural perspective to therapy and strive to understand how cultural identity and lived experiences shape each client’s challenges and strengths. Therapy with me is goal-oriented and focused on helping you reconnect with what feels meaningful and valuable in your life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My process begins with developing a strong therapeutic connection and gaining a thorough understanding of your concerns, history, and goals for therapy. Together, we identify clear, personalized goals and assess what areas of your life you want to improve. I pay close attention to patterns in thinking, emotions, and behavior, and I share observations and insights to help increase self-awareness and understanding. From there, I incorporate the most effective evidence-based treatments to teach practical skills and strategies tailored to your needs. Throughout therapy, we regularly review progress and adjust the approach as needed. The goal is not only symptom relief, but long-term growth, helping you build the tools, confidence, and insight to maintain improvements in your quality of life, relationships, and emotional well-being beyond therapy.

    Through working with Dr. Singh, I was able to develop skills to counter my negative thoughts and deal with issues that have been affecting my life. He has provided great guidance and I've grown a lot after using his services. I would highly reccomend using Dr. Singh.
    Dr Singh has always been incredibly patient and action oriented. He has given me several tangible tools to deal with my anxiety and stress, including CBT, thought records, meditation recommendations, etc. Highly recommend!
    I have received treatment from Dr. Singh on two separate occasions when my employer at the time provided access to his services via a set of sessions via Lyra Health. I feel that I was able to form a good relationship with Dr. Singh and though our sessions came to find out we share some similarities with our family and daily life situations. As a result of that, I feel that i was able to have meaningful conversations that resulted in measurable improvements of my situation. One thing that stands out to me was that in our first session he led me though a guided meditation which I appreciated and have tried (although not as consistently as I would like) to incorporate in my day to day. I would not hesitate to recommend his services, and am grateful for the help and guidance he has provided to me.
    Dr. Singh has been instrumental in equipping me with tools to handle challenging times in my life, specifically, grief. His attentive approach to the delicacy of the subject matter, while being compassionate enough to know that sometimes grief manifests in a plethora of ways, allowed me to heal in ways I did not know were even possible. Whether it was reliving scenario exercises during sessions, analyzing the complex emotions and feelings around loss, or checking in with myself. Dr. Singh was always caring, focused, and adaptable to any challenges that came up during our sessions. I couldn't recommend Dr. Singh enough to those looking to take the next steps forward to heal from grief and I will always cherish our work together!
    Dr. Singh is the absolute best. He helped me through one of the worst moments in my life. We met weekly and he walked me through my grief. I found him to be patient, kind, understanding, supportive and nonjudgmental. I’ll forever be grateful for our sessions together.
    I worked with Dr. Singh for nearly 10 months during an intense life crisis. During that time, my father was hospitalized, my younger sibling was admitted to inpatient care for severe mental illness, and I experienced an involuntary job loss due to company downsizing. Dr. Singh was highly skilled at meeting me where I was while helping me process distress and grief. He supported me in focusing on practical, short-term steps such as physical exercise, social connection, sleep, meditation, and skillfully working with thoughts and emotions. I experienced his approach as truly holistic. His support helped me regain a sense of hope and clarity, reconnect with my values, and learn how to be with difficult emotions. I also deeply valued his attunement to cultural nuances. If you are seeking a compassionate, holistic therapist, Dr. Singh is an incredible choice.
    Dr. Singh has been incredible during one of the most difficult times of my life. He was truly there for me, with presence and care. He helped me go deeper into what was affecting me and supported me in navigating the intense stress and anxiety I experienced last year.
    Dr Singh is a godsend! He helped me through an extremely difficult time in my life and helped me get my OCD under control. Thanks to him I am now almost entirely free from my symptoms!! Thank you!
    Dr. Singh remains one of the best psychologists I've ever seen. There was visible improvement in my anxiety and seeing him was the best decision I have ever made. We focused on evidence-based approaches so I knew I was receiving top-tier care. He's also just an absolute gem of a human. I can't recommend him enough!
    I've seen a few therapists, but none of them really helped because I feel like they were telling me the obvious. Dr. Singh was the only one who helped me shift my perspective and see situations from a different point of view.
    Dr. Singh has been treating me for years now, off and on as I need. He is incredibly warm, kind and accommodating. I enjoy being able to have the flexibility for check-ins or scheduling more frequent appointments, he's always so helpful and works with me.
    I was on sleep medication for over 10 years and was able to stop taking this type of medication working with Dr. Singh. Dr. Singh used a proven CBT method with me in helping me understand my sleep issues and lead me to not having to take sleep medication to fall asleep or go back to sleep each night.
    Dr. Singh has been immense helpful in my therapy journey. He’s adapted quickly to various styles and approaches that work for me and has been very impactful.
    Karan was a spectacular therapist who provided a truly comfortable space for me to share my feelings. The guidance I received was so helpful that I still carry many of our lessons with me today. I always walked away from our sessions feeling lighter and more supported.
    Dr. Singh is an incredibly kind and helpful provider, who mixes compassion and tough love as a patient needs. I strongly recommend him to anyone going through tough times in their personal life. He mixes personal advice and general frameworks extraordinarily well, to help you help yourself.
    Dr Singh is consistently insightful and practical. He has capacity to listen carefully and compassionately, then helping me arrive at specific next steps to take action in my life.
    Dr. Singh provides a 10/10 experience, and he does exactly that every session. I appreciate that he provides minimal advice, instead giving me the space and support to work through my problems and find my own solutions. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a provider who empowers you to grow at your own pace.
