Vidya Venkat, LCMHC (she/her):Adults Therapist
I’m Vidya (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA), who works with individuals navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, and relational challenges, especially those who carry a lot on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside. Many of my clients are high-performing, deeply empathetic individuals who have learned to mask their pain through perfectionism, people-pleasing, and over-functioning. They often come to me feeling burned out, disconnected from themselves, and unsure how to express their own needs after years of prioritizing others.
In our work together, we’ll focus on rebuilding a relationship with your inner world, your emotions, your body, your history, and your voice. I bring a trauma-informed, somatic lens to healing, drawing on the mind-body connection to help you move from just surviving to truly living. Whether you're navigating a life transition, carrying the weight of grief, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I’m here to support you with compassion, clarity, and care.
My approach blends EMDR, somatic work and nervous system education, DBT, narrative therapy, emotion regulation, and self-compassion practices that focus on identity, boundaries, and self-worth. I believe that healing happens not only through insight but through safety both within your body and in your relationships. You don’t have to keep holding it all together alone. I offer a space where you can slow down, be witnessed, and start to build a life rooted not in survival, but in emotional safety.
I provide telehealth and in person sessions in our Raleigh office and work with individual clients aged 18+. I am in network with Aetna, Cigna, Medcost, and BCBS.
