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.
