OUR TEAM
Shana Brown-Lieberson, Psy.D.
Founder & Licensed Psychologist
If you or your child are feeling overwhelmed by OCD, anxiety, gastrointestinal-related symptoms, or if you’re unsure what is causing you or your child’s struggles, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with children, teens, and adults to help them better understand what they’re experiencing and learn tools that make daily life feel more manageable and less distressing.
As founder of Bala CBT and a Licensed Psychologist, Dr. Brown-Lieberson (she/her) brings empathy, warmth, compassion, energy, and humor to empower clients to reach their goals and feel as though they have a safe space to be themselves.
Anika Khan, Ph.D.

Dr. Khan (she/her) has extensive experience working with OCD, anxiety, and the intersection of anxiety, medical trauma, and chronic health conditions, including gastrointestinal difficulties or genetic conditions and family systems.
Dr. Khan is passionate about providing culturally responsive care and has co-led group therapy for individuals of color and contributed to diversity initiatives at Penn’s Psychology Department.
Dr. Khan approaches her work with warmth, collaboration, and deep respect for each child’s and family’s unique strengths.
