Dr. Rehana Raheem, Psy.D.

My name is Dr. Rehana Raheem. I am a Clinical Psychologist with a longstanding passion for working with relationships: your relationship to yourself and others, between your strengths and difficulties, between your values, goals, and life trajectory, and the relationships between past, present, and future. I consider myself a joyful generalist, meaning I enjoy working with children and adults individually, and also offer couple's therapy and family therapy (and more relationships!) The fundamental core of my practice is to foster a safe and nurturing environment with authenticity, spontaneity, and humor. As your therapist, I will listen closely, ask questions, share my observations, and offer insights and tools for us to consider together. My aim is to help you understand the roots of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. I pay close attention to the ways in which culture and society influence your sense of self and your world. In therapy, I am primarily attachment and trauma-based, working from a psychodynamic framework and occasionally using CBT to help manage acute symptoms. Clients come to see me for chronic/acute trauma and/or stress, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship/familial concerns, major life transitions, or identity-related concerns. No issue is too big or small! I also offer psychological assessments (sometimes referred to as testing) for many purposes, including clarifying diagnosis, guiding treatment and appropriate supports, and/or getting educational accommodations for your needs. Testing can provide a deeper understanding of you or your loved one. I provide assessment services for children, teens and adults, including for the following concerns: - Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - Specific Learning Disorders including: reading (dyslexia), math (dyscalcula), and written expression - Mood and anxiety disorders including: Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Panic Disorder. - Social-emotional functioning and personality development (including personality disorders) Contact me for further information!
