When working with children or adolescents, Dr. Mukherjee is able to easily connect with them and make them feel comfortable. She has collaborated extensively with educators, school administrators, therapists, and medical professionals to enhance the academic, social, and emotional functioning of youth across New York City for more than a decade. Dr. Mukherjee is trilingual (English, Hindi, and Bengali) and has worked with families residing both in the United States and abroad. 

In her work with adults, Dr. Mukherjee emphasizes a trusting therapeutic relationship and applies a holistic, lifespan‑oriented model to understand each individual’s strengths, vulnerabilities, and broader context. This approach allows her to provide targeted recommendations and interventions that meaningfully support daily functioning and long‑term well‑being.

Being a mother of two children, Dr. Mukherjee can understand and empathize with the anxieties of parents and working adults. She ensures that the results of the evaluation provide a clear picture of the overall functioning and insights into the treatment. After discussing results and intervention plans, she assists families and adults in connecting with appropriate professionals and resources to support ongoing success. 

Outside of her clinical and academic work, Dr. Mukherjee enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and reading.
