Priya Puliyampet is an LMHC based in NYS with 7+ years of experience working with first- and second-generation immigrants, queer and BIPOC-identified folks, and people leaving high-demand religions who often feel different, misunderstood, or like they don’t quite belong.
I work primarily from a psychodynamic perspective to examine/explore relational patterns and the way this affects your view of your self and others. I also draw from AEDP to deepen and stay with emotions, and DBT to help regulate emotions when they feel overwhelming. I approach this work through a feminist, anti-oppressive lens.
In initial sessions, we'll define the difficulties you're facing, develop a collaborative treatment plan, and begin addressing what feels most pressing. As our relationship deepens, we'll explore patterns that may be harder to see—like shutting down, adapting to others, or hiding your needs. You may notice some change in the first months, while other parts of the work unfold and change over time.
