Dr. Priyanka Upadhyaya, Psy.D

Welcome to Thrive Wellness & Mediation. We are a solutions focused psychotherapy, mediation and coaching private practice in Manhattan and Northern NJ.
We specialize in helping individuals navigate the toll of depression, anxiety, life transitions and stress so that they can focus on being their best selves and lead their best lives. Our mission is to strive for whole person health and well being.

As a psychologist with Thrive, I treat adults (18 and above) with emotional difficulties stemming from life transitions, depression, anxiety and chronic stress using evidence based interventions like CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapies for symptom relief combined with Mindfulness and yoga based practices well known for healing from stress. I also provide Life and Health coaching and consulting appointments to our clients, especially young adults, individuals and couples in various life transition phases ( divorce, leaving home for the 1st time, medical illness, singly parenting, to name a few).

Some of the most common transitions I encounter with young adults include transition from high school to college, emotional turbulence in young adulthood stemming from independent living, pre-existing depression, anxiety, panic based anxiety or trauma. I often see young adults struggling to navigate intimate relationships, balance work, life and play that result in unhealthy or self destructive ways of coping. In my practice I also often come across young adults grappling with fears of succeeding and failure, feeling socially isolated and "different" from their peers.

As a practice we also offer divorce mediation and couples therapy in which we provide practical guidance and create therapeutic partnerships with our clients dealing with divorce, supporting individuals and couples to navigate the difficult aspects of this life altering transition.

We provide care for our clients both in person in Northern NJ, Manhattan and online in both NJ and NYS. We understand that psychotherapy is so much more about "good therapeutic chemistry" that we offer a FREE 15 minute phone or skype based consultation. This is a valuable time for us to determine if we are a good fit for each other.
