Bryana Kappadakunnel Professional Bio

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (90464)

Bryana Kappadakunnel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of Conscious Mommy. She supports women and parents in healing inherited patterns, reconnecting with themselves, and creating more secure, embodied relationships with their children, their families, and their own lives.

Her clinical work is rooted in attachment, trauma healing, Somatic Experiencing, conscious parenting, mindfulness, and early childhood mental health. She helps clients understand how their nervous system, early relationships, family dynamics, and lived experiences shape the way they respond to themselves and the people they love.

Bryana’s work with women centers on inner child healing, embodiment, self-trust, boundaries, emotional regulation, and the unlearning of guilt, shame, self-abandonment, and overfunctioning. She supports women in moving out of survival patterns and into a deeper sense of vitality, wholeness, and connection with themselves.

In her work with parents, Bryana helps caregivers look beneath behavior to better understand their child’s nervous system, developmental needs, and relational cues. Rather than focusing on control or quick behavioral fixes, she supports parents in building the capacity to respond with more regulation, attunement, and confidence.

Bryana also specializes in supporting mothers through pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood, including perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, identity shifts, unrealistic expectations, boundary struggles, guilt, and overwhelm.

Bryana holds a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and has been licensed since 2015. She is an Infant-Family Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist, a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist-Certified, and is trained in Conscious Parenting through Dr. Shefali’s program. She is currently completing her credential in Somatic Experiencing, expected in 2027.

She is the author of Parent Yourself First: Raise Confident, Compassionate Kids By Becoming the Parent You Wish You’d Had.
