A message from our team
In an age of AI, automation, and increasingly impersonal healthcare, we believe there is no substitute for genuine human connection. Good care starts with feeling comfortable and understood. You should be able to speak openly with someone who really gets it.
At our clinic, we want every patient to feel welcomed and cared for. Our team is warm, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to, as we believe trust and rapport are an important part of healing. We’re all part of the same community, and we hope to create a true sense of ʻohana while bringing aloha to work everyday.
Sincerely,
Who We Are

Finding a therapist who truly listens can be a challenge, but CJ makes it feel effortless. From day one, I felt completely heard and understood. He doesn't just offer generic advice; he collaborates with you to create practical, personalized plans to navigate life's hurdles. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, insightful, and genuinely invested in your growth, I cannot recommend CJ enough.
James W., Google Review
We are incredibly grateful for the support and dedication that CJ has shown to my son. He has truly been amazing patient, understanding, and very skilled at adapting his teaching style to meet my son's needs. My son struggles with anxiety and dyslexia, and we've seen a tremendous improvement not only in his academic progress but also in his confidence. CJ creates a safe and encouraging environment that has made a real difference. I highly recommend CJ to any family looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows how to connect with their students.
Paola G., Yelp Review
CJ is truly one of a kind. He intuitively knows when the conversation requires gentleness vs. direct honesty, and handles both with ease; nothing is ever judged or off-limits. On top of this, his ability to create a safe, stable environment for sessions is unmatched.
Thomas C., Google Review
CJ is a rare find kind of therapist! He has a vast array of knowledge and is very good at narrowing in on root causes. Sessions are always insightful and he tries to meet you where you’re at.
Sachin S., Google Review
CJ has been a great therapist for me. He has created a safe and welcoming environment and I feel he is genuine in wanting to help. He is knowledgeable and resourceful. During our sessions I feel heard and understood. He has helped to gain perspective and understanding of my challenges and struggles. He has given me valuable tools and strategies that have already proven to be effective and I am hopeful going forward with continued sessions.

Dr. William Portman, MD
Psychiatrist, Clinical Director
As Clinical Director of Fuse, my work is grounded in evidence-based psychiatric care that stays open to emerging approaches. I integrate rigorous clinical standards with a holistic understanding of mental health — considering the full context of each person, including biological, psychological, and experiential factors — while keeping safety and efficacy at the center of every decision.
I have a particular interest in ketamine-assisted therapy and the growing field of psychedelic research, both of which I see as powerful tools for facilitating meaningful therapeutic change when used responsibly and within a structured process. At Fuse, my goal is to create a space where innovation and integrity go hand in hand, and where individuals feel supported in pursuing lasting change.
"It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society." — J. Krishnamurti
We are more lonely, anxious, and depressed today than any generation in American history—a sad truth which I’ve had to grapple with both as a mental health professional and through my own personal journey through life’s many twists and turns. What I can say with sincerity is that it absolutely can get better, and if you're reading this, then you're already on the right path in your own journey. You’ve already taken the first step. Improving our mental health, like many things in life, comes down to learning a set of skills. Yet it’s often the case that these skills were never taught to us growing up…and, for many of us, well, we also unfortunately learned some very unhelpful lessons along the way. As such, I consider therapy to be the process of unlearning that which doesn't work for us, and relearning what will.
CJ Raghunath, LAMHC
Therapist, Founding Member
My approach is long-term and integrative, drawing from several modalities based on what I believe will be most effective for each person. I'm particularly drawn to third wave therapies like Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), which targets the root causes of suffering such as excessive shame and guilt rather than just surface-level symptoms, drawing from Zen Buddhism, evolutionary psychology, and contemporary neuroscience to build the internal skill of self-soothing. As the research continues to expand, as in the rapid growth of psychedelic-assisted therapy, I'll continue evolving my toolkit to best serve those I work with. In our initial sessions, I'll focus on building rapport, learning your background, and making sure the space feels safe enough to make real progress from.
