Priya Samarendra

Hi, I'm Dr. Priya Samarendra, a dual board-certified Psychiatrist who provides a thoughtful and compassionate approach. I work with both adults and teens to navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders through personalized, collaborative care that addresses both physical and emotional well being. My therapeutic approach is rooted in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I'll combine this with skillful medication management to provide care that is tailored to you and your stage of life.

When working with me, patients should expect a warm, engaged partnership that is focused on understanding the whole of you, not just your symptoms. I'll take the time to explore your history, values, and goals. I'll integrate medication with therapeutic insight to promote lasting emotional growth and stability.

Please reach out to start a dialogue. I'd love to meet with you via teletherapy to discuss how we can reduce your symptoms and improve your life.
