Meet Leyla Rakshani

Leyla earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Chapman University in 2022. She is currently pursuing her Psy.D. of Clinical Psychology at The Chicago School in Anaheim. Leyla’s passion for mental health stemmed from her experiences volunteering with organizations such as the International Rescue Committee to provide academic resources and support for refugee high school students. She previously worked as an early intervention specialist for children facing challenges in the classroom, which strengthened her commitment to providing therapy services to children and adolescents. Outside of the office, Leyla enjoys playing board and video games with friends, as well as cooking and going to the movies. She is excited to provide support for her clients at Albert Knapp and Associates, and to continue to grow as a clinical practicum student.
