Chanchal Sharma, PsyD, MSEd, MA
Psychologist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

About Me
- Assistant Attending Psychologist
As a psychologist within Employee Health and Wellness and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), I provide essential psychological support to all employees. This includes offering short-term psychological assistance aimed at addressing immediate concerns and participating in institution-wide crisis intervention when necessary. My involvement in MSK extends beyond direct care; I play a crucial role in enhancing and creating initiatives focused on significantly increasing the availability and quality of mental health support for our employees.
In my care approach, I prioritize empathy, understanding, and evidence-based practices, tailoring psychological support to the unique needs of each individual. Acknowledging the diversity of backgrounds and challenges, I aim to foster a supportive environment that values and understands our employees. My work, grounded in the belief that mental health is vital for overall well-being, focuses on delivering effective interventions that address the specific stressors of working in healthcare, ensuring they resonate with our employees’ experiences.

My educational background and training have equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities of human psychology, especially in the context of child and adolescent development. I completed my internship and post-doctorate fellowship at Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital (St. Luke’s-Roosevelt), where I focused on integrating clinical practices with family dynamics. I hold a PsyD in Child-Adolescent Clinical Psychology and an MSEd in School Psychology from Pace University, alongside an MA in Applied (Clinical) Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University.
Through short-term support, crisis intervention, and strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing mental health resources, I am dedicated to fostering a culture of care, resilience, and psychological safety within the organization.
A psychologist has special training in therapy to help people with mental and behavioral health issues.
