Client testimonials.

My first encounter with Roma Raheja was a big step toward discovering my part in my emotional uneasiness. She quickly established a safe place to truthfully explore specifics about my discomfort. Gradually, over the next year, she guided me with a mixture of suggestions for adjusting my behavior and homework assignments for journalling and exploring podcast content related to the issues I was facing. Roma was supportive of my efforts, reflected what she saw as my progress and always expressed her appreciation for the work I was doing on my own. She also made sure I recognized my courage in performing the hard work of emotional healing, growth and positive practice. Roma was instrumental in my decision to invite and ultimately join my wife in couples therapy outside her practice. It’s been year long journey of discovery and personal growth working with her.

Working with Roma Raheja, LCSW, has been transformative for me. Her psychoeducational guidance gave me the tools to identify and understand my symptoms, all while clearly explaining the link between the tools and brain functioning. I have developed skills to recognize and regulate my emotions and thoughts, empowering me to manage the stresses of life with confidence in my roles as a parent, spouse, sibling, friend, and entrepreneur. I’m deeply grateful for her consistency, dedication and insight.

I really appreciate how Roma took the time to try different modalities to see what worked best for me. She didn’t just stick to one method—she listened, adjusted, and helped me find what worked best for me, never judging and always creating a safe environment for me to overcome my fears and anxieties.

Working with Roma has been such a positive and unexpected gift—I just wish I had connected with her sooner. After 20 years of navigating a chronic illness, along with the emotional weight, guilt, and day-to-day pressures that come with it, she has helped me make sense of my thoughts and feelings in a more grounded way. The most impactful takeaway for me has been learning to extend myself grace. Roma is compassionate, thoughtful, and genuinely cares—an all-around wonderful person to work with.

I used to doubt that therapy could truly make a difference—and I’ve learned it doesn’t without real effort. But working with Roma made that effort feel deeply worthwhile, more than anything I’ve invested in myself before. Where other therapists guided me toward more traditional approaches for my anxiety related to relationship challenges, Roma offered a fresh perspective that genuinely changed my life. Over nearly four years of working together, I grew in ways I never expected. She created a space where I felt truly seen and developed an approach tailored specifically to me. I’m incredibly grateful for her and can’t recommend her highly enough.

I’m grateful to be working with Roma, who understands my cultural background and family dynamics. It makes the process much easier, as I didn’t have to spend time explaining cultural norms—something that had been exhausting in the past when working with non-Desi providers.
