I am Dr. Saji P Mathai, a licensed Family Counselor and Motivation Speaker.
I am a counseling practitioner and trainer in developing positive lifestyles for depressed people. My effort in this website is to reflect on the benefits I received from society directly and indirectly.
My goal is to spread the power of Counseling, meditation, motivation, writing, and coaching to develop healthy lifestyles for individuals and families. The list of troubled people includes alcohol and substance abusers, disturbed individuals, couples struggling with marital issues, youth seeking answers to life-threatening situations, teens, and old agers. No matter what your problems are, there is a solution.
I work with Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon groups on opposite sides of the same problem of alcoholic addiction. The position of the addicted person and their family members are on the verge of an emotional breakup. If you are a candidate for searching for the right help for your problems, you are not alone, and no need to be in this hurting stage any longer.
This website attempts to bring my writings to people and provide a way to contact me. This website discusses topics that apply to daily life. These are meant for people who are exploited by others, unrecognized, and less educated.

Education and Experiences
I got the opportunity to earn a PhD degree in Counseling, a Master’s in Counseling, and a Master’s in Finance. Currently working as a consultant in Information Technology, I enjoy my work.
I looked back to other areas of life to find my passion. I found that I was getting joy from helping needy people. All my experiences in life are helping people solve their problems.
My cognitive impairments compounded my problems. I believe “If we have a problem, we should find the solution”. A suitable helping hand was not available in all such situations. I am trying to that helping hand for you.
Childhood
My native is a small village named Nellimattom in Kerala, India. My parents were farmers and had only a general education. An introverted child who struggled with many cognitive disabilities at every developmental stage never received accomplishments and deserved no recognition. Everyone was uncertain about my future, and no one believed I would survive life’s challenges.
Life has taught me lessons that education cannot. I had to learn many things through hard work. My peers gained heights, and my challenges were shackles on my progress. My cognitive weaknesses prevented me from achieving my desired goals. The help I needed was not available at the time.
Conclusion
Searching answers for to understanding the purpose of life never returned results. Sometimes, people must make tough decisions and follow through with them. You are no different. There are solutions to your problems. Please give me a chance, if you can’t find them.
