Rahul Mehta, MS, LPC, NCC,
CSAT-Candidate

As a sex addiction therapist, trained EMDR clinician, and certified psychotherapist, I work with individuals struggling with intense urges, emotions, and conflict. New clients come to me feeling isolated, in pain, and on edge due to having nowhere to express their toughest emotions. Many grew up in a traumatic family of origin with messages like "Suck it up" and "Don't cry" being taught to them. My clients come to me to say the things that they couldn't otherwise say to anyone else.

Seeking professional help, whether it’s EMDR and/or psychotherapy, can be one of the hardest things to do. And sometimes, it’s the last thing you want to do. Your walls and barriers have kept you going for so long, but now you’re realizing that what you’ve done in the past doesn’t work for you or for those you love anymore. Many things can get in the way – anger, shame, fear of judgement, fear of failure, pride – and remain buried below the surface of addictions, perfectionism, humor, stoicism, and automatic responses of “I’m fine.”

I get that because I’ve been there. I’ve been on the other side of the therapy room, and I’ve learned that the pain and resentment does not have to be permanent. With the right trained therapist and EMDR clinician, the journey to healing and feeling "unlocked" into a true, authentic life can happen. I promise you that. You are worth it. And I am here for you.

I utilize expertise in EMDR, psychotherapy, Cognitive Therapy, Attachment Trauma Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and other proven modalities to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. I teach and support the growth of unique strengths and confidence to overcome life’s challenges, self-defeating habits, and internal shame.
