Deepak Santhiraj

Hi! I'm Deepak, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

It's a privilege to walk with you toward healing, restoration, and wholeness. I bring hope and partnership to our work, and I tailor it around your needs, values, and priorities. Rather than leave you stuck, I'll help you find what's holding you back and meet your deepest longings in healthy ways. I try to balance giving you room to reflect while gently encouraging you forward.

Much of my background is in Illinois public schools, where I have provided counseling, psychoeducation, case management, and crisis support to teens. I've also spent time counseling and mentoring college students and young adults through various seasons of life.

I hold bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Spanish from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My work is also shaped by time living across cultures abroad and by post-graduate training in trauma-informed care. I look forward to helping you rewrite your story toward a fuller life.
