Dr. Komila Brennan, PhD

Dr. Brennan is a licensed psychologist specializing in child psychology for youth ages 2 to 14 facing behavioral, emotional, and developmental challenges—including ADHD, ODD, anxiety, depression, OCD, emotional regulation, sleep, toileting, and school issues. She completed her internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the renowned Kennedy Krieger Institute / Johns Hopkins Hospital, where she then spent 8 years as a staff licensed psychologist in the Behavior Management Clinic before joining CCCC. Through Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Child-Centered Play Therapy, she helps young clients process complex emotions and develop lifelong coping skills. 

Crucial to Dr. Brennan’s practice is strong parent involvement, which is essential to lasting success. Utilizing Parent Management Training (PMT), she equips caregivers with practical behavioral strategies to reduce conflict and restore harmony at home. To fit seamlessly into family routines, parents can conveniently participate in virtual sessions during school hours; furthermore, because of this heavy emphasis on parent training, children under eight participate in treatment sparingly and typically skip the first few sessions. Parents can expect a warm, transparent, and solution-oriented approach that provides clear rationale behind every technique, empowering families long after treatment ends.
