Dr. Krishnaswamy Gajaraj

Psychiatric Provider in Hingham, MA

Dr. Krishnaswamy Gajaraj has spent more than 50 years practicing psychiatry, a career that spans general, adult, and geriatric psychiatry across some of the South Shore’s most established clinical settings. At CK Wellness, he brings that depth of experience to patients looking for psychiatric care in Hingham, MA – treatment that’s shaped by decades of hands-on clinical judgment, not just protocol.

Background & Experience

Dr. K. Gajaraj currently serves as the medical director at HRI Hospital in Brookline, Massachusetts, a position he has held for the past 20 years. Before that, he served as medical director at Brockton Hospital and held the same role at Starr Psychiatric Center in Brockton – a track record of leadership positions that reflects both longevity and trust within the psychiatric community across Massachusetts.

He is a member of the American Psychiatric Association (APA).

Areas of Specialization

Dr. Gajaraj treats a broad range of psychiatric conditions in adult and geriatric populations, including:

• Depression and mood disorders
• Dementia and other geriatric cognitive conditions
• Anxiety disorders
• Bipolar disorder and manic-depressive illness
• PTSD and trauma-related conditions
• Alcohol use disorder
• Opiate treatment, including Suboxone treatment
• Schizophrenia
• Sleep disorders

This range matters because it reflects a physician who treats the whole picture – someone whose patients aren’t limited to a single diagnosis, and who understands how these conditions frequently overlap, particularly in older adults.

His Approach

Dr. K. Gajaraj’s specialization in geriatric psychiatry and dual diagnosis care reflects an understanding that mental health conditions rarely show up in isolation, especially later in life, where cognitive changes, physical health, medication interactions, and mood symptoms are often tightly connected. Patients working with him benefit from a provider who has spent decades treating exactly these kinds of overlapping, complex cases – not encountering them for the first time.
