Priya Bansal, PhD

Dr. Bansal is a licensed clinical psychologist who earned her degree from the University of Maryland, College Park. In therapy, she primarily works with individuals to help navigate life challenges including relationship concerns, codependency, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.

Dr. Bansal identifies as a second-generation Indian American, bisexual, cisgender woman and is Hindi-English bilingual. She has a passion for working with individuals with historically minoritized identities, and therapy with Dr. Bansal often involves a deep exploration of how culture, social identities, and systems of power interact and shape life experiences.

As a primarily psychodynamic, relational, and multicultural therapist, Dr. Bansal believes that patterns from the past often show up in the present in unhelpful ways. She is committed to helping her clients identify and break free from these patterns in order to live more engaged and fulfilled lives. She also believes that developing strong relationships is central to creating meaningful changes in life. Dr. Bansal’s clients can expect warmth, authenticity, empathy, humor, and an investment in their stories as they journey toward healing.
