Priya is a psychotherapist, sex therapist and sex educator. She joined Achieve Wellness in 2016. Priya completed a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from Assumption University, with certificates of study in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and CBT for Families and Children. Priya completed a 2-year Holistic Sex Therapy training program to become nationally certified as an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist.
Priya is a polyamory, non-monogamy, kink and LGBTQIA+ aware therapist. Priya recognizes the curiosities and interests of folks within these areas-especially the complexity of emotions that can come up as one chooses to explore (or not) and the nuance of one’s identity exploration. She provides trauma informed care to those affected by intimate partner violence or sexual violence.
Priya’s work takes a social justice, trauma-informed and relational approach. She aims to help clients navigate barriers to change; within themselves, their relationships and within the broader systems they are a part of. During sessions non-judgmental and collaborative space is created to explore this intersectionality and its context to a client’s mental health and well-being.
Outside of professional life, Priya enjoys family time, hiking, cooking and thrifting.
