Shweta Kapoor, MD, PhD, is the owner and founder of Kalm Psychiatry LLC, which is based out of Scottsdale, Arizona, and serves patients in Arizona and Connecticut. Dr. Kapoor holds dual doctoral degrees in medicine (with residency in psychiatry) and in clinical psychology. She is highly skilled in providing holistic treatment consisting of intensive therapy and medication management. 

Prior to establishing Kalm Psychiatry, Dr. Kapoor worked at institutions including Mayo Clinic in Arizona, The Menninger Clinic in Houston, Baylor College of Medicine, and Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. She continues to serve as adjunct assistant professor of psychiatry at Emory University School of Medicine, and as a research Consultant at The Menninger Clinic. 

She is widely published in the areas of complex trauma, childhood maltreatment, women’s mental health, chronic suicidality, and chronic pain. Her areas of expertise are feminist therapy and philosophy, trauma-informed care, complex trauma, women’s mental health, chronic pain, suicidality, and serious mental illness.

Dr. Kapoor is married to a chemical engineer and is mother to two adorable kids. She loves to collect books (and occasionally read these), tend to her plants, change the decor of her home, and travel. She passionately and frequently writes about social justice and feminist issues.

She cares deeply about providing trauma-informed care to individuals from a feminist perspective. In practice, this means taking into account the sociopolitical environment of the patient to conceptualize their distress and mental health concerns. She is currently accepting patients in her private practice.

I have a strong and enduring interest in feminism and feminist therapy. I am delighted to be associated with OBOS, an organization that has for the past several decades stood up for women unapologetically and provided resources for people all over. I am aligned with their mission of empowering women and the community at large by disseminating vetted information about all things related to women, including mental health. As a psychiatrist who is focused on feminist therapy, OBOS is an incredibly wonderful opportunity for me to serve women.
