Why I Am Deeply Invested In Community Building?

Dr. Nirmeen Rajani is a Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of clinical experience, Relationship & Parenting Expert, Generational Healing Advocate, and mother of two. She specializes in anxiety, depression, complex trauma, and emotional and behavioral challenges. She works with children, adults, couples, families, and organizations.

She is the founder of Family and Child Roots & Wings, a community-based organization offering workshops and emotional well-being programs for children, adults and organizations. The Roots & Wings Workshops are grounded in the belief that healing happens in relationship—and that growth is most powerful when it’s nurtured in community. These workshops create co-learning spaces where individuals sit side by side, each exploring their inner world, building emotional intelligence, and practicing co-regulation—not in isolation, but in the heart of their own communities, surrounded by others who are healing, growing, and supporting one another.

Dr. Nirmeen Rajani received her masters and doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. She did her doctoral internship at Boston University School of Medicine, Boston Medical Center's Center for Multicultural Training in Psychology, where she provided clinical services to children and families from under-served communities and high school students. Further, she completed her post-doctoral fellowship at Heartland Alliance Marjorie Kovler Center, where she worked with refugees and asylum seekers who are survivors of political torture.

Dr. Rajani is a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across diverse settings, including primary care, hospitals, schools, community mental health centers, and outpatient clinics. She collaborates with medical professionals, attorneys, community organizations, and corporations to provide mental health services, consultations, and prevention programs. Her work in developing and implementing mental health programs has earned her recognition, including a Humanitarian Service Award from Illinois Secretary of State for her culturally sensitive outreach to underserved communities. Dr. Rajani’s therapeutic approach is evidence-informed and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy. She works through a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and socially conscious lens, with a deep commitment to cultural humility and systemic understanding. In addition to conducting psychological assessments, she provides individual, group, and family therapy, and is fluent in Hindi, Urdu, and Gujarati.
