Ayesha Chaudhary, MD

My approach is warm, compassionate, wholistic, developing a trusting relationship through connection. I begin with a thorough assessment, carefully listening to understand you, & collaborate with you to develop your individualized care plan. Behavioral activation, biorhythms, mindfulness, yoga, psychotherapy, & evidence-based medication are my primary treatment methods. I respect your preferences, provide thoughtful insights or playfulness where needed, and walk beside you toward your goals. I'm excited to see you grow, thrive, & live your best life. I'm Board Certified, on faculty at Duke, and have held leadership positions in the American College Health Assoc., American Psychiatric Assoc., and North Carolina Psychiatric Assoc. I'm trained in multiple therapies including psychodynamic therapy, DBT, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, & sleep CBT. Specialized practice areas are: emerging adulthood, BI-POC, social anxiety, ADHD, chronic post-concussive injury, anxiety disorders, depression, insomnia, PTSD, perfectionism, performance anxiety, procrastination, panic disorder, gender identity, sexuality, bipolar, & comorbid conditions. I accept Duke SHIP and self-pay.
