Shreya M. Nagula, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

Dr. Nagula is a dually board-certified psychiatrist in both Adult Psychiatry and Child/Adolescent Psychiatry. Her expertise lies with teens, college students, and adults that are dealing with anxiety (social anxiety, panic, OCD, generalized anxiety), depression, or significant life stressors or changes. Dr. Nagula’s primary goal is to strive for diagnostic accuracy, helping recognize and discern acute stressors and challenges from psychopathology. Whether virtually or in-person, she works with patients (and their families if warranted) to holistically address their concerns, and collectively develop effective interventions and treatment modalities.

There's no ‘one size fits all’ treatment because each individual is unique, so it's important to understand what specific type of therapy one can benefit from, or whether meds might be useful. Dr. Nagula is passionate about education, and about empowering individuals to learn & utilize skills to optimize their treatment benefit and maximize their potential.
