About Dr. Dayal
My passion for mental health care was shaped from an early age. Growing up, I saw firsthand how mental illness affects not just one person, but entire families. My aunt struggled with schizoaffective disorder, and I witnessed the challenges she faced and the difference compassionate treatment made for her and those around her. This inspired me to become a physician dedicated to helping people improve their health.
​
Early in my career, working with people facing mental health challenges opened my eyes to how treatment can truly change lives. I became determined to understand what helps people heal and how to offer care that is both effective and empathetic. My approach centers on listening to your story, understanding your needs, and finding the best path forward together.
​
I trained at Duke and Yale and have over 13 years of experience across many different settings. I’ve seen how people are often misunderstood, given the wrong treatments, or feel hopeless because of stigma or side effects. I believe that you deserve more personalized care, respect, and a real chance to feel better. I strive to provide a safe, supportive space where you are truly heard and where your unique needs guide your treatment.
