Raj is a very knowledgeable and wise person, who helped me overcome many of my own issues including those with self-esteem and feelings of self deprecation or resentment to name a few. She is able to not only listen to my thoughts, feelings, and perspectives, but also to create a safe and comfortable non-judgmental space for that to happen. She is able to get to the root of my issues that I myself was sometimes unable to determine due to emotions or other factors, and was able to explain things to me in a clear and concise way. If you are in need of advice or counseling, I can recommend that Raj will be a great choice to help you.

I am so grateful to have Raj as a therapist. She is very insightful, which demonstrates her ability to truly listen and try to best understand her clients, while also being able to discern when is the appropriate time for her to share her thoughts in addition to listening. She has always been able to meet me where I am at. If I am wanting a more lighthearted session, she is able to offer that. If I am needing a session to be more serious, she is ready to hold space for that as well. I also really benefit from the times where she is able to discuss what she has learned from her education, and she references data that has been researched and peer reviewed (so that I can look into these topics on my own time). Her approach is very balanced between having a "clinical" background, and also being someone who is real and personable. If I am going to be fully honest, she is the best therapist I have ever had. We live in different countries, so I am grateful for the opportunity to have been connected with her, and I could not have had this opportunity without using Betterhelp.

Congratulations! Just by thinking about making a change in your life, your journey to living a fully empowered and authentic life has already begun. You are an expert of yourself and your family. Allow me to step in as an expert in self-development, creating emotional well-being, and achieving optimal mental health. Blending conventional and complimentary approaches, I draw on a variety of styles and techniques to facilitate bridging the gap between where you are and where you desire to be.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Michigan and Texas and have over 19 years of experience. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree from North Carolina State University in 1980 and my Master of Arts degree from Oakland University in 2002. Additionally, I am a certified yoga teacher registered with Yoga Alliance which allows me to draw from the ancient practice and wisdom, which dates back over 4000 years, to help clients move into a balanced emotional, mental, and physical state of equanimity and self-awareness.

I view therapy as a process by which I facilitate my clients in exploration, clarification, and identification of their needs and help them to make changes in behaviors and cognitions. Therapy is a safe place to explore reactions, thoughts, and feelings about people in your life as well as yourself. It allows you the opportunity to practice new ways of interacting and when ready, to try these in other relationships. With an enhanced sense of self-understanding and acceptance, you are able to replace limiting beliefs you have learned and inherited with a new self-empowering perspective and create a breakthrough from surviving to thriving.

I utilize the multi-modal and holistic approach which integrates person-centered, cognitive behavioral, existential, psychodynamic, Gestalt, mindfulness and solution-focused models to meet your specific and unique needs. Relying on research, I integrate an array of therapeutic interventions that will yield optimum results. I work with a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues including mood disorders, anxiety, depression, stress and anger management, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, addictions, domestic violence, parenting, divorce, crisis intervention, and personality disorders. My clients include families, couples, teens, individuals and groups.

I look forward to working with you!

You are not a drop in the ocean,

you are the entire ocean in a single drop. ~ Rumi ~

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Raj's practice has been transformative - she is insightful, empathetic and tactful, able to see where you are and then break down how to get you where you need to be. If you're able to open up, she will get to the core and help you build upwards - her work in IFS is particularly stunning. A year ago, I couldn't get through a single session without crying, and it sure felt as though my life was a mess. Now every session feels like a powerful sense of discovery, and frankly, from my career to my romantic life, everything feels like it's turned for the better, if not the best! You find yourself out in the world, so to change your world, the best thing you can do is to improve yourself. And the best person to help yourself improve in my estimation is Raj.

Mar 2023

Raj has a refreshingly pragmatic approach to any issues that we discuss in session. Her systematic approach, professionalism, and ability to deal with any situations has significantly helped me over the past year I've spent with her.

Raj is incredibly well trained and connected well with me during our sessions. I felt her background and expertise allowed her to cater therapy to my particular needs and really help me work my way through several issues.

Z.U.·May 2022

Like any good therapist there will be no right answer for everyone, but if Raj is right for you, she is transformative, and she's absolutely changed my life in ways I would never have thoughts possible. Thoughtful and open but also aware of when and how we need to balance our thoughts with our emotions, Raj is masterful at pinpointing issues and not just explaining them but offering solutions which are profound and lasting. Her work with me using the IFS system was so incredible as to feel straight out of a movie in the best way. If you think you'll resonate with someone calm, thoughtful and with a great capacity for growth, Raj is a delight, a revelation, a marvelous choice.

First time in therapy and had weekly sessions with Raj for the past months. She’s very patient and caring. She understood my issues, processed my thoughts and brought me out from the darkest place. Always grateful, and will certainly look for her for future help.

J.I.·Jan 2022

I wasn’t ever a big advocate of Therapy until I had some sessions with Raj. I was able to open up and expose all my scars to Raj and she helped me aid them. She guided me the way out of the dark hole I was in when I started Therapy and she changed my life. I will be sticking to Raj for a very long time.

M.E.·Jan 2022

Raj has helped me through the toughest relationship that I’ve had to deal with. Talking with her has guided me into a healthier route in my life and has made me excited about this new chapter in myself. I feel relief and confidence in where I’m going and the steps I will take to continue to build myself.

P.A.·Jan 2022

Raj was not only highly skilled in her field, she was also intuitively wise, unendingly patient, caring and capable of guiding me through a very dark time in my life. With just a few sessions, I was not only feeling better about my situation but I also was equipped with tools to handle my day to day challenges. She was able to shift my view and understanding of myself and my place in this world. I am forever grateful.

J.U.·Jan 2022

Raj is clearly the best therapist I’ve talked to by far. Her holistic and client-centered approach works wonders for me. I always feel secure and confident to take the reins during therapy because I know Raj is there to guide me. Even when I delved deeper or took sharper turns, Raj knows how to help me understand that it’s part of the journey of finding the answers.

A.N.·Nov 2021

I feel heard, understood, respected and I trust her guidance and help.
