DR. DIANA Kurlyandchik
Hey there, I’m Diana! I am a board-certified psychiatrist based in Connecticut, committed to providing comprehensive care for the full spectrum of mental health conditions, with a focus on anxiety and depressive disorders. I’ve spent over a decade treating individuals with severe and persistent mental illness—and I bring compassion, humanity, and a lot of unfiltered thoughts to my practice.
I founded Sunrise Med to create space for more education and lifestyle support during sessions—because long-term wellness comes from more than just meds and therapy. We focus on movement, time outdoors, sleep, and nutrition as key parts of your care, not afterthoughts.
As an immigrant and culturally aware clinician, I understand how identity, systemic stressors, and global events shape our emotional lives—and yes, I get it, I’m in it with you! I offer inclusive, affirming care for people from all backgrounds, and my practice is a safe space for LGBTQIA+ individuals and anyone navigating the hot mess of humanity!
