Dr. Raya Kumar, PhD

Psychologist
37 W 20th St, 806, New York, NY
My name is Raya Kumar. I work with adults and couples navigating relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem. I see therapy as protected time to be curious about yourself, in service of feeling more alive and more yourself. Together, we will explore your present issues, past experiences, dreams, and inner world to deepen your understanding of yourself and the patterns you find yourself in. I believe this process of uncovering creates the foundation for meaningful change. A collaborative approach is essential to this type of self-exploration, and I use a friendly, interactive style to foster an open environment with room for humor.

Getting to know Dr. Raya Kumar

My name is Raya Kumar. I work with adults and couples navigating relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem. I see therapy as protected time to be curious about yourself, in service of feeling more alive and more yourself. Together, we will explore your present issues, past experiences, dreams, and inner world to deepen your understanding of yourself and the patterns you find yourself in. I believe this process of uncovering creates the foundation for meaningful change. A collaborative approach is essential to this type of self-exploration, and I use a friendly, interactive style to foster an open environment with room for humor.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work primarily from a psychodynamic perspective and view our connection as an important lens through which we can better understand relational patterns and challenge well-worn ways of being. I also integrate skills and behavioral techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavior therapy, tailored to your needs.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We will begin with a complimentary phone consultation to discuss what is bringing you into therapy, determine if we are a good fit to work together, and answer all of your questions.
