Dr. Rajesh Harripersad, LPC-S, LCDC, EMDR

Regional Executive Director

As a veteran of the U.S. Army and a Doctor of Organizational Leadership, Dr. Rajesh Harripersad brings over 35 years of combined military and clinical experience to his role as Regional Executive Director at Virtue Recovery Center. Licensed as both an LPC-S and LCDC with additional EMDR training, he understands the intersection of trauma, service, and recovery in a way that few clinicians can, having lived it himself. His work extends well beyond the treatment setting. As founder of Don't Walk Alone, a community initiative supporting veterans facing homelessness and addiction, and as an adjunct professor shaping the next generation of counselors, Dr. Harripersad has dedicated his career to serving those who are often hardest to reach. That same mission-driven commitment defines every aspect of his leadership at Virtue Recovery Center.
