At Annia Raja PhD Therapy, we specialize in depth-oriented, psychodynamic therapy for high-achieving professionals, particularly physicians and executives, who are navigating burnout, anxiety, chronic self-pressure, and more. Rather than offering short-term solutions or quick fixes, we focus on creating lasting insight and change through long-term psychodynamic therapy work to address the underlying patterns that contribute to these challenges.
The services provided by Annia Raja PhD Therapy are available online for clients in Santa Monica and Los Angeles who are wanting to move beyond simple symptom management towards deeper, lasting change. We distinguish our practice from other therapy models like CBT by helping successful “doers” explore complex, layered themes such as perfectionism, over-responsibility, family of origin wounds, and so much more that continues to shape their personal and professional lives.
