Dr. Rajan Hayre
Pronouns: he/his/him
Dr. Raj completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Simon Fraser University (SFU). His research experience focuses on attachment relationships, and he believes understanding those relationships is vital for healthy development into adulthood. Dr. Raj is committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and inclusive space for his clients.
He has experience in working with a range of concerns, including anxiety (e.g., GAD, panic), OCD, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship difficulties, emotion regulation challenges, and identity-related issues. He is particularly skilled in the treatment of OCD, supporting individuals experiencing suicidality, and working with clients navigating the impacts of early attachment disruptions, complex trauma, and experiences of marginalization.​​
Adolescence is a challenging period in life. Dr. Raj hopes to support preteens and teens to find comfort in the chaos and give them a safe space to speak freely while developing the skills to combat difficulties that arise. In addition, Dr. Raj hopes to use this knowledge and share tools to help young people and their parents manage their lives.
​
​Drawing on his own background and understanding of sports, Dr. Raj also works with young athletes experiencing performance-related fears, pressure, or identity concerns, helping them build confidence, manage anxiety, and find balance both on and off the field.

He also likes video games (e.g., Hollow Knight) and is open to learning and exploring new games, so definitely introduce new ones to him, but keep in mind, he is a console guy, so you’ll have to convince him why computer games are better…because they’re not :P!
