More about Dr. Shirley Rajan, MD
* CURRENTLY ONLY ACCEPTING SELF-PAY PATIENTS*
I am a dual board certified adult and child-adolescent psychiatrist with extensive experience in treating patients with complex emotional and behavioral challenges. I am well adept at addressing issues ranging from depression, to ADHD, to behavioural issues, to mood dysregulation.
In addition to my private practice, I serve as the Associate Medical Direct of the Adolescent DBT Program at Princeton House Behavioral Health. I specialize in treating teens and adults struggling with high risk self-harm behaviors and chronic suicidality, focused on improving the management of emotions and decreasing impulsive, destructive behaviors.
I received a dual B.S. with honors from Rutgers University studying Psychology and Neuroscience. I completed residency in General Psychiatry and fellowship in Child/Adolescent Psychiatry from the University of Massachusetts. There I gained extensive training in solution focused therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy.
I believe in incorporating multiple psychotherapeutic modalities with psychopharmacology. A comprehensive assessment, a working alliance with clients and families, and collaboration with schools and pediatricians should be the foundation of any treatment.

It was a consultation on zoom. The session was ok. Nothing good or bad. I was being referred just to get prescribed medication.
The follow up was terrible.We were supposed to be in touch after trying the medication but the doctor was unresponsive.

Dr. Rajan was very professional and helpful. I immediately felt that I was in the Dr's office for the help I am seeking. I will continue to see the Dr as I was treated very well, not talked down to, and not judged. I truly believe that I have found the help I need to get past my current situation.
