All Therapists > Piyali Kundu-Veldhoven

Piyali Kundu-Veldhoven is a psychodynamic psychotherapist working with children, adults, and adolescents at Rose Hill. Her approach to therapy is to explore the inner drives, motivations, conflicts, and entrenched narratives that may hinder abilities to cope, connect with others, and meet life’s vagaries with peace. Sessions with her facilitate development of a stronger relationship with oneself, understanding ones patterns and desires, building self-esteem and fostering acceptance. Piyali has lived abroad and been a "foreigner" for much of her life and is committed to working with adults and adolescents to process and deepen their own understanding of their feelings of "otherness", especially in times of transition, such as during major life milestones from puberty through adulthood, in relationships, career, parenting, and with grief and loss.

Piyali interned at Rose Hill Psychological Services while obtaining her Masters of Social Work from Columbia University's School of Social Work. She has received psychodynamic training in working with adults and adolescents experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, and with obsessive-compulsive symptoms. In working with adolescents, Piyali maintains a close relationship to caregivers while providing an explorative space for the young person.

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, Piyali was a management consultant and global health professional, working across Europe, the Middle East, and India. She holds a MS in economics and public policy from Erasmus University Rotterdam, and a BA in International Relations and Community Health from Tufts University.
