More about Rajan
- 15 years' experience

- LMFT
My favorite clientele are adolescents, young adults, professionals, couples, and families. I address relational issues, family conflicts, depression, suicidality, underachievement, failure to launch, and lack of meaning or purpose in life.
I have extensive experience with adolescents and adults in both non-profit and for profit settings, as well as on an outpatient and inpatient basis. I have worked for non-profit corporations, county behavioral health, school districts, and privately-owned for profit corporations.
I am trained in EMDR, Trauma Resiliency and worked directly for several years with suicidal adolescents and adults on a crisis response team.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Rajan is great. Very helpful and I've benefitted immensely from just a handful of sessions.
I am greatly enjoying my sessions with Rajan. He provides real-life examples and expertise on how to tackle some of the issues I am going through. He does not give the 'cookie-cutter' answers, but true examples of real life situations to help me improve. I feel very comfortable when speaking to Rajan. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly.
Rajan is a very positive person with good insight. I feel he's been very helpful with teaching me to think a different way about the things that bother me and turning them into a positive fuel that encourages me to step beyond and become more instead of stewing and continuing to become worse. Thank you Rajan
Highly Recommend! Rajan, truly offers client-based therapy! New to working with him but consistently offers unique perspectives to consider while also making you feel heard and understood. I am confident I will see a lot of progress in my life as a result of his help.
I wouldn’t have wished for a better counselor. He was actually the first person to tell me , candidly too, “that he’d place a bit on me to get back on my feet again”. This means a lot to me and, occasionally when am down, I remind myself of this statement.
This app has been a game changer for my mental health
