My name is Anjana Rajan and currently I am an LCSW. I believe each person is deserving of dignity, respect, and empathy no matter where they are in life. As your clinician I will walk alongside you on your journey and provide a safe space for you to heal.
My approach
We can work on specific issues or explore your life's deeper meaning--especially during loss or significant life changes. Using your natural skills and abilities, you will learn effective ways to achieve both your therapeutic and life goals. I am trained in a number of modalities, including CBT, DBT, ACT and motivational interviewing.
My focus
Adults aged between 18-65. I mainly focus on issues including anxiety, depression, relationship problems and communication. Those who suffer from trauma often struggle to control emotions, lack self-regulation, and face difficulties in relationships with communication and boundaries setting.
My communication style
I believe each of us has our own innate sense of wisdom and my role is to build a safe and trustworthy therapeutic relationship and to support you in reflecting and reconnecting with your own wisdom and strength, assist you in building skills and supports, and encourage you in making meaning of your journey so that you can live the most vibrant life for you
My journey to mental healthcare
Helping and supporting people through their difficulties adds meaning and value to my life. I believe it is an honor to get to learn and support people through their journey and navigate life.
My goals for you
Therapy is a collaborative process and my goal is work with you from day one and help with with clarity on your issues.
My first session with you
I completely understand it can be intimidating expeirnece to come up to a stranger and open up things that are deep and personal. I respect and understand every client is different, and hence would prefer to take the sessions to your comfort and pace.
