DR. RADHIKA KAPOOR was born in NYC and raised in NJ. She has extensive experience and sincerity for pediatric oral health care. She is passionate about working with children and their families in a fun and gentle manner. Furthermore, Dr. Kapoor's strong educational foundation allows her to share a wealth of knowledge on oral health as it relates to overall wellness.

Dr. Kapoor earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, focusing on areas of child development, at Barnard College, Columbia University, where she truly refined her education of child behavior and anxiety-reducing techniques. She then continued at Columbia University to receive her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree. While at Columbia, she held leadership positions with the AAPD and Give Kids a Smile. She received numerous academic honors and was published in the NY State Dental Journal for her work on Ectodermal Dysplasia.

Her passion for children's dental health and community service was further solidified during her volunteer work, including a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. She had the privilege of completing her pediatric dental residency training at well-renowned Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC, where she received extensive training and experience in treating patients with special health care needs, sedation, trauma, general anesthesia, and interceptive orthodontics.

Inspired by her own personal struggles with nursing an infant with posterior tongue tie, Dr. Kapoor sought to enhance her training in CO2 soft tissue laser. In addition to years of continuing education and achieving proficiency in laser dentistry, Dr. Kapoor had the pleasure of having one-on-one training by one of the experts in the field, Dr. Martin Kaplan, who provided additional pearls of wisdom. Dr. Kapoor is pleased to provide CO2 soft tissue laser dentistry using the renowned Light Scalpel to her patients and their families. This has been instrumental in her tongue tie/lip tie frenectomy procedures, improving breastfeeding in infants, speech, feeding and airway issues in toddlers, and adult postural/sleep problems.

Elisabeth Schellekens, the visionary founder of Elle's Corner, is on a mission to revolutionize the way society approaches motherhood and mental health.

As a passionate Motherhood and Mental Health Counselor, Elisabeth's driving force is to create a supportive community that ensures no mother has to face the challenges of postpartum depression (PPD) and postpartum anxiety (PPA) alone.

With a rich academic background in psychology and drawing on her own harrowing experience with a difficult pregnancy and severe PPD, Elisabeth provides mothers with the essential resources and tools they need to build resilience and thrive during their postpartum journey.

Elisabeth is also a fierce advocate for dismantling the taboos surrounding mental healthcare. She believes that everyone should have access to affordable, accessible mental health support, and she's dedicated to dispelling common myths surrounding PPD and PPA.

In her ideal world, regular mental health checkups would be as routine as dental cleanings, starting in high school.

As Elisabeth continues to break barriers and inspire change, her impact reverberates far beyond the walls of Elle's Corner. She is not just a counselor; she is a catalyst for a societal shift that places mental health at the forefront of our collective consciousness.  For more information, please visit www.elles-corner.com
