About Dhwani Kothari and Banner Safety Practices

Care Philosophy

My approach to care is built on collaboration and compassion. I find it important to understand the psychological, social, and medical factors impacting a person’s quality of life and well-being. The next step is working together to identify goals for care and a course of treatment. My hope is for the individuals I work with to develop insight, feel educated, and learn a new set of coping skills through a brief, evidence-based psychotherapy model.

Specializing In

Behavioral sleep medicine; Chronic pain management; Health psychology

    Dr. Kothari is absolutely incredible. She is very easy to talk with, and she listens to my problems and adjusts her strategy accordingly. She is relentless (in a good way) in her pursuit to get me better sleep and even checks up on me occasionally between appointments to see how I'm doing and provide updates. Though I still have a ways to go, my sleep has greatly improved in the mean time.
