Chandra Estelle Khalifian, Ph.D., is research faculty at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and the co-founder of Enamory– a clinic, training institute, and research center focused on psychedelic-assisted couple therapy. She earned her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and completed her predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship (Advanced Fellowship for Women’s Health) at the VA San Diego / UCSD consortium. She completed a VA Career Development Award under mentorship of Dr. Leslie Morland studying the Treatment for Relationships & Saftey (TR&ST)-- a couple-based suicide intervention that she developed during her postdoctoral fellowship. She has been a co-investigator on multiple funded research trials including a MDMA-assisted couple therapy for PTSD trial. Her research is focused on developing novel couple interventions for relationship distress, PTSD, and suicide. She is particularly interested in enhancing evidence-based interventions with psychedelics. Within Enamory, Dr. Khalifian sees couples and individuals, supervises associate therapists, conducts research, and co-developed, with her colleagues, Dr. Kayla Knopp and Dr. Skylar Kelsven, the world’s first ketamine-assisted couple therapy training and certification program.
