Modern Medicine Meets Your Life Story
Dr. Shriya Kaneriya Founding Psychiatrist
Ikigai Psychiatry is a Connecticut-based integrative telepsychiatry private practice founded on my belief that the most effective and sustainable healing solutions in medicine exist at the convergence of science and story. Healing is a holistic process that blends together reflection and action.
I’m a Yale & UPMC-trained psychiatrist passionate about combining traditional psychiatric approaches with evidence-informed holistic methods to help young professionals and motivated adults overcome anxiety, depression, trauma and life stressors in order to live more authentically with joy, connection and purpose.
I incorporate judicious use of medication, solution & insight-oriented psychotherapy, basic laboratory testing, nutritional supplementation, lifestyle modifications (i.e. sleep, diet, and movement), and mind-body practices into an individualized, comprehensive treatment plan that honors your unique story and aligns with your vision for a fulfilling life.

Compassionate, collaborative, conscientious care
I believe that the doctor-patient relationship is central to the therapeutic process. I enjoy working alongside perceptive, growth-driven individuals with inquisitive minds and nostalgic souls who are ready to invest in themselves. If you are searching for a psychiatrist who will meet you with empathy, authenticity, honesty, creativity, and a dash of humor, then you have come to the right place.
