Dr Aishwarya Raju

Psychiatrist

“I am confident in medication management as well as therapy, particularly CBT, with strong clinical training in inpatient, outpatient and partial hospitalization/IOP settings for children and adolescents.”

About Me

I support children and adolescents navigating emotional or behavioural challenges. My approach combines careful medication management with focused therapy, particularly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Drawing on extensive clinical training across various care settings, I offer comprehensive support for diverse needs, from specific worries to more complex situations. My aim is to help young people find stability and develop lasting coping skills.

Approach

Confidence in balancing careful prescribing with focused talk work shapes how I approach each appointment. Sessions in Sugar Land or via secure video, conducted in English, are structured with clear agendas and measurable steps to practice between visits. Together we set specific goals, use practical cognitive strategies, monitor symptoms and functioning, and adjust plans when patterns like attention challenges, mood shifts, disordered eating thoughts, or trauma reactions arise. Teens and families seeking concrete skills alongside thoughtful medication care often find this collaborative pace useful.
