Anusha Kumar, PhD(She/Her/Hers)

Anusha is a clinical psychologist who works with individuals navigating a range of emotional, relational, and identity-related concerns. She sees clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, loneliness, life transitions, and relationship challenges, as well as those seeking deeper self-understanding even in the absence of acute distress. She is especially passionate about working with individuals holding marginalized, multicultural, and intersecting identities, with a focus on identity, belonging, and intergenerational trauma.

Anusha’s therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and grounded in psychodynamic and relational theories. She understands symptoms as both revealing and concealing deeper emotional experiences, and she attends to both immediate concerns and underlying patterns. Her style is collaborative, warm, and reflective, and she integrates empathy, curiosity, and humor into her work. She aims to help clients develop insight in therapy and translate that insight into meaningful change in their daily lives.

Her perspective is shaped in part by her experience growing up between the United States and India, which has deeply informed her understanding of culture, identity, and belonging. These experiences contribute to her nuanced, culturally attuned approach to clinical work and her commitment to fostering a sense of internal stability and self-understanding in her clients. Anusha is also deeply committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in her practice.

Anusha provides in person and virtual sessions out of both our Midtown and Flatiron offices. She works with adolescents, young adults, and adults, and tailors her approach to meet each client’s individual needs and goals.
