When we talk of a substance abuse therapy and wellness program that has treated thousands of people effortlessly and successfully, we hear of only one name resounding loud amongst all the whispers, “Sajeela’s Quitting Therapy.”

Dr. Sajeela’s approach is pragmatic, warm, and patient, and she believes that everyone has the ability to create lasting and meaningful change in their life — whether they want to quit smoking, alcohol, or any other such substance that is detrimental to their health. Her counseling and treatment are uniquely tailored for each individual and expertly integrate the most effective psychotherapeutic approaches with research-based wellness practices.

With an extensive track record of success, Dr. Sajeela specializes in substance abuse treatment. She conducts Structured Substance Abuse Cessation Interventions in her clinics at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and other hospitals. It is a highly personalized treatment program, suited specifically in response to the individual needs of the habitué. The success rates of abstinence are very high, which makes her therapy distinct and many steps ahead of others.

Dr. Sajeela is a lifestyle consultant and has started corporate wellness and healthy living programs in a big way. She is today well-known for her lifestyle modification and stress management therapies. She conducts workshops on happiness, lifestyle modification therapy, stress management and coping skills training, motivation, leadership, sleep management therapy, and many more.

Dr. Sajeela assists people in achieving their health and fitness goals, and encourages them to embrace a more holistic and satisfying approach to mind/body wellness. Loaded with empathy and warmth, she positively impacts human thought processes. With her simplicity and truth, she has managed to make a big difference to health living!

Dr. Sajeela’s motto is to make this planet a better place to live in. “We strive for a rejuvenated, reformed, and a new world.” She has dedicated herself fully to the cause and says that “This is just a small beginning; there are miles and miles to go…..”

According to her, there are three pillars of health — Right Diet, Right Exercise, and Right Sleep — these three Rs can change the continuum from negativity to positivity, from ill-health to wellness. She says that “We have an age-old habit of treating our diseases. We would go one step further and strive towards preventing diseases as prevention is always better than cure. And in that process, we can avoid many of the terminal illnesses to develop.”

In addition to the clinical work, Dr. Sajeela has started de-addiction programs for the society at large. She organizes “Structured Tobacco Cessation Workshops” in various organizations; wherein employees are treated for tobacco dependence in a group setting. The essence is to make the “Organizations Tobacco-Free”, in their true sense.

For example, in 2016, she started the program, “Tobacco Free Delhi – A CSR initiative” by BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) – A Reliance Power Group. Her “Tobacco Free Delhi - Cigarette-Tobacco Choro Abhiyaan”, got an overwhelming response. In the first four-month phase of “Cigarette-Tobacco Choro Abhiyaan” in 2016 itself, she helped hundreds of smokers/tobacco addicts who did quit their addictions completely after her treatment.

Following the immense success of these initiatives, Dr. Sajeela conducted several more de-addiction programs in years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Such is her love for the community and the nation at large that CSR has become her passion. According to Dr. Sajeela, “Treating the community where India resides in its true sense; where addictions are rampant, but where people are not even aware of the treatment; and cannot afford even basic amenities, is indeed very satisfying. It’s very close to my dream of a Tobacco Free India”.

Dr. Sajeela is a renowned researcher and is involved in a wide variety of prestigious research projects. She has been covered extensively by both the print and the electronic media. Dr. Sajeela has been awarded several times for her meritorious contributions to the community.
