Getting to know Sarnya Pichaiyappa

She provides caring, personalized therapy to individuals and families across Massachusetts and Rhode Island through LifeStance Health. Her goal is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

Sarnya's personal and professional experiences as an immigrant, woman, leader, person of color, non-native English speaker, and mother, has put her in a place that helps her understand the weight many carry. If you identify with any of these experiences, know that Sarnya would be more than willing to support you through her services. Sessions are available in Tamil for those who prefer care in that language. Outside of her work, Sarnya enjoys dancing, playing throwball, spending time in nature, and serving on nonprofit boards. She is a strong advocate for vulnerable communities and brings that dedication into every aspect of her practice.
