Sajal Dhillon

As a licensed psychologist with extensive clinical training and experience, I offer a wide range of evidence-based therapies to serve clients with diverse mental health needs. My customized and holistic approach is aimed at supporting overall wellness, independence, and quality of life. 


I am proficient in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to target conditions like depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. CBT helps clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop coping skills. For borderline personality disorder and emotion dysregulation, my dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) services incorporate mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. I also employ rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) to dispute irrational beliefs linked to unhealthy emotions and behaviors.


For OCD patients, I employ exposure and response prevention techniques to help manage intrusive thoughts and compulsions associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder. I also provide trauma/grief counseling using trauma-focused CBT, EMDR therapy and other methods to process painful memories and build emotional resilience.


When working with children and adolescents, I conduct thorough assessments and provide individual or family counseling for neurodevelopmental concerns, social-emotional learning challenges, and academic/behavioral issues. Through play therapy, art therapy, applied behavior analysis techniques, and other evidence-based interactive methods, I make the therapeutic process engaging for young clients.


My relationship counseling helps couples strengthen communication, manage conflicts constructively, and enhance intimacy and commitment. As a family therapist, I employ systemic therapy to ameliorate family dynamics, treat adolescent issues, and support families facing mental illness, medical crises, or life transitions.


My experience also includes group therapy modalities to address topics such as trauma, addiction recovery, stress management, parenting skills, and peer support - benefiting from the mutual aid and community this modality offers. I provide individual psychotherapy and customized treatment plans addressing a wide range of conditions. 


My rehabilitation services assist with managing chronic medical conditions, disabilities, substance abuse issues, and other concerns through therapeutic techniques and skill-building. I also specialize in LGBTQ+ affirming counseling to address unique challenges and concerns within the community.


Furthermore, I incorporate exposure therapy for anxiety disorders, psychodynamic principles, emotion-focused strategies, mindfulness interventions, art/music/dance modalities, and trainings in areas such as EMDR, psychoanalysis, and sandtray therapy to broaden my clinical skills and continually support clients via innovative, evidence-based approaches tailored to their specific requirements. My goal is to establish a safe, empathetic environment where each person can regain wellness by managing symptoms, processing experiences, acquiring new skills, and cultivating fulfillment and growth.
