Dr. Vataniman earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from William Jessup University and completed both her master’s degree and doctorate in clinical psychology at Rosemead School of Psychology at Biola University, where she developed advanced training in psychological assessment and psychodynamic therapy.

Her approach is both careful and compassionate. She believes that a high-quality evaluation should do more than assign labels—it should help people make sense of their experiences, identify their strengths, and move toward effective support and meaningful growth.

Dr. Vataniman is also committed to practicing with cultural humility and sensitivity, recognizing that every person’s story, background, and context matter in the assessment process.
