Priya Dubey
I am a dually certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 12 years of experience in the healthcare field. I earned my graduate degree from Wilmington University and further advanced my expertise by completing post-master's psychiatry education at Wilkes University.
As a bilingual provider fluent in English and Hindi, I offer culturally competent care, ensuring that clients feel understood and supported regardless of their language or background.
My true passion lies in mental health, and I am dedicated to fostering strong, trusting relationships with my clients to promote effective treatment and lasting change.
First session
In the first session, clients can expect a supportive and collaborative conversation focused on understanding their concerns, challenges, and goals. I take the time to explore the issues that brought them to therapy, including identifying specific triggers, factors that worsen their struggles, and any coping strategies that have been helpful. This session also serves as an opportunity to discuss relevant background information, including emotional, behavioral, and lifestyle patterns. If appropriate, we will explore treatment options, including therapy approaches and, if needed, medication options. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to take the first steps toward meaningful change.
Strengths
My greatest strengths as a provider include a nonjudgmental, culturally aware, and respectful approach to care. I create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, valued, and understood. By fostering trust, empathy, and open communication, I provide personalized support that empowers clients to navigate challenges and achieve growth.

Ideal clients
I work best with clients aged 15 through adulthood who are motivated to improve their lives but feel uncertain about how to take the next step. Many of my clients struggle with feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious—particularly in relation to their careers, education, or personal development. They may experience self-doubt, difficulty making decisions, or challenges in managing stress and emotions effectively. Through a supportive and collaborative approach, I help clients develop the tools and strategies needed to build confidence, set clear goals, and create meaningful progress. Whether navigating career transitions, academic pressures, or personal growth, my focus is on empowering individuals to overcome obstacles and move forward with clarity and purpose.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My understanding of CBT is rooted in its core principles: helping individuals recognize how their thoughts influence emotions and actions, and providing practical strategies to shift unhelpful thinking patterns. For example, if a patient struggles with anxiety, I would guide them through identifying automatic negative thoughts, questioning their validity, and replacing them with balanced perspectives. Additionally, behavioral experiments help patients gradually confront feared situations and build confidence.
