Compassionate online psychotherapy in NY and in-person in Brooklyn. Specializing in burnout, trauma, and chronic stress—especially in the workplace. I’m warm, curious, and here to help.

I also speak and educate on these topics, as well as supervise and coach other therapists.

I help professionals experiencing burnout and chronic stress create healthy boundaries without guilt, and find joy and satisfaction in work and life.

Individual Psychotherapy in NYC & NY State

I work with adults coping with a range of factors including trauma, workplace stress and burnout, depression, anxiety, interpersonal and relationship concerns, grief and loss, and life transitions. I specialize in supporting BIPOC clients and journalists, and am LGBTQIA+ affirming.

  • Private Practice Coaching

    Private Practice Coaching

    Building a private practice can feel overwhelming—and most of us were never taught how to do it. I offer coaching for therapists who want step-by-step support in launching or strengthening a solo practice.

Psychotherapist in NY, Dr. Sumi Raghavan, PhD

HI, I’M DR. SUMI—I’M GLAD YOU’RE HERE.

I’m a clinical psychologist, speaker, educator, therapist coach, and supervisor who spent ten years as a professor, and walked away from tenure to pursue private practice full-time.

Whether you’re a psychotherapy client, a supervisee, or a keynote audience member, I’ll bring my expertise in burnout, trauma, chronic stress and culture to the conversation, along with research-based tools (and humor!) to help you move toward joy and satisfaction.

I care deeply about connecting with you and helping you feel safe, supported, empowered, and understood.
