Teen Therapists in Santa Clara, CA

I arrive at the intersection of compassion & collaboration as I respectfully guide my clients to explore new levels of awareness, self-empowerment, flow, & understanding. Working towards cognitive flexibility, wholeness, and healing. Using empathy & unconditional positive regard as a foundation, I may occasionally challenge you to bring forward awareness with a more direct approach. I welcome the motivation or perhaps ambivalence that comes along with seeking treatment. There is no perfection in the layers that define us, just a journey of experiences & lessons that await discovery, growth and honor.

My main goal is to provide a supportive environment for you to identify what obstacles are preventing you from living a more satisfying life. Together, we will explore your resiliency and tools that you already have in your "tool box" to overcome such challenges. I have experience providing support to individuals with depression, anxiety, and anger management issues, trauma and trauma recovery, crisis intervention, processing previous and recent sexual assault or sexual abuse, and adolescent emotional/behavioral issues.

I am licensed psychotherapist with over 22 years of experience. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety (excessive worry and stress), depression (feeling unmotivated, disinterested, and stuck), couples conflict, parent/child issues, OCD, RSD, and ADHD. I have extensive training providing therapy for family and teen / adolescent issues. I work best with individuals, teens, couples, and families who prefer a hands-on and action-oriented psychotherapy approach to promote change. I use cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, person-centered, RRT, and family systems techniques. I work 100% virtually serving patients in Georgia and California.

Whether you’re an adult, child or teenager , I help you to know more about who you are, who you want to be and what you want to be about.

With children and teenagers, I help them in the challenges they face with stress, anxiety, loneliness, depression, academics, anger, friends, and identity. I help parents better understand and support their children. I provide a safe and supportive space, with empathy and understanding, and without judgment or shame.

In my practice, I believe that the process of change requires an approach that is tailored to each individual's unique style and needs. I strive to create a collaborative, caring, and supportive atmosphere that will assist you in identifying and changing the thoughts, the behaviors, and the interpersonal styles that are no longer effective for you. I offer confidential, supportive and caring environment free of judgment that will facilitate your journey through difficulties and challenges.

Hi! I'm Razdeep, South Asian therapist providing therapy in California. I work with heart-centered, sensitive, creative, or highly empathic teen and adult individuals who are experiencing stress, life transitions, anxiety, trauma, or struggling with ADHD symptoms. As a sensitive soul, your ability to feel so deeply is your greatest gift and superpower. Even though it may feel like a burden at times, please know that this is what makes you such a warm and wonderful. I invite you to unfasten your burdens and know it’s safe to take a deep breath. In therapy sessions with me, you will be seen and you are warmly welcomed to just BE.

I offer evidence-based treatments to address presenting concerns that include, but are not limited to: anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, grief, and relationship issues. My hope during our time together is to go beyond coping tools and symptom management, to provide therapy that leads to psychological resilience, growth, and development. I am theoretically-minded, and many of the sessions focus first on unraveling and exploring concepts, after which the ideas will be practically applied.

***Online Therapy Available*** Life may be difficult... but when we accept this reality, our lives can change dramatically for the better. Our fear, sadness, and anger are often what keep us from facing the vital facts of our lives that need to be addressed to create the changes we want most. Fortunately, the more effective you become at soothing yourself, the more courageous you become. This is because it is often overwhelming pain and trauma that paralyzes us or leads us to mindlessly react in ways that sabotage our peace and happiness. I can teach you how to calm yourself and effectively solve the problems you face.

At times, we forget we’re resilient, strong, and resourceful. We can heal, be brave, and see ourselves live our desired preferences, identity, and outcomes. If you’re looking for a therapist, you have taken a courageous first step towards healing and self-care. Before becoming a LMFT, I worked in high-tech. I understand the experience and challenges of the Grind Culture.

Those stressors, compounded by trauma, can negatively influence your decision-making process and self-esteem.
