Wendi Benalt, MD, is a board-certified adult psychiatrist at Adelpha Psychiatric Group in Encino, California.

Dr. Benalt graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, where she studied biology, psychology, and neuroscience. She went on to pursue her medical education at UCLA, where she graduated second in her class and served as co-president of the University’s chapter of the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society.

A passion for women’s health led Dr. Benalt to complete a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Pennsylvania and a surgical fellowship at Fox Chase Cancer Center.

Dr. Benalt is a member of the Volunteer Clinical Faculty at UCLA, where she supervises residents and fellows in reproductive psychiatry at the Women’s Life Center.
