Who It's a Good Fit For
Dr. Desai specializes in working with high-performing adults - including physicians, business owners and executives, and professionals in tech, law and finance - who feel depleted by the relentless pursuit of
"success" and always being "on."
You're exhausted by forging ahead towards an
ever-moving goal post, and when you pause to look
around you, you find yourself disconnected from
what and who truly matters to you.
​​​
During the course of therapy, you'll learn the science behind your experiences and strategies for harnessing
this insight to drive meaningful change.
