Welcome to DrSanthi.com

My name is Dr. Santhi Periasamy and I am a licensed psychologist located in Houston, Texas. I am trained as a doctoral-level counseling psychologist, and my specializations include working with eating issues, relationship challenges, family issues, PTSD/trauma, and multicultural issues.

In my perspective, therapy is an investment in your personal growth and a dedication to your overall well-being. Therapy can help us identify our strengths and personal successes, as well as help us to explore our areas of growth. I work hard to provide a trusting, warm, open, and supportive relationship for my clients. I believe that understanding our past and our current life patterns helps to foster internal growth, so that we can understand ourselves on a deeper level, create emotional well-being, and move towards contentment with ourselves and our lives.

My approach has helped some clients:

Find success in their relationship with self and others
Cope with the challenges of daily living (i.e. job stressors, relationships, balancing multiple life

obligations, etc.)
Develop healthy coping strategies
Enhance fulfillment in one's overall well-being through the management and resolution of issues related

to intimate relationship challenges, depression, family conflicts, trauma, eating and body image

concerns, anxiety, academic and career difficulties, multicultural/diversity concerns, difficult life transitions,

and substance issues.
