Akshay Mehta, LPC

EMDR-Trained Therapist | Virtual & In-Person |

Are you balancing responsibilities, expectations, and constant pressure while feeling overwhelmed? You may find yourself managing everything on the outside while internally feeling stuck, exhausted, or caught in cycles of anxiety, overthinking, and rumination. You may notice your mind constantly racing or replaying situations, trying to find clarity or control, while feeling increasingly frustrated or depleted. Over time, this can show up as irritability, emotional exhaustion, disconnection, anger, or difficulty being fully present in your life and relationships.

I work with students, and working professionals who are navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, trauma, family conflict, and caregiver burnout. Many of the individuals I support are managing school, careers, relationships, or major transitions yet internally feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unsure how to shift these patterns.

In our work together, we may focus on:

  • Reducing anxiety, overthinking, and mental overload

  • Managing stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion

  • Processing trauma and past experiences that continue to impact you

  • Navigating family conflict and relationship stress

  • Supporting recovery from addiction and patterns of dependence

  • Addressing caregiver burnout and role-related pressure

  • Strengthening emotional awareness, boundaries, and communication

  • Building a more grounded, sustainable way of functioning

We can also focus on relationships exploring communication challenges, emotional reactivity, codependent patterns, and dynamics that may be creating tension or disconnection so you can show up more clearly, confidently, and intentionally in your connections.

With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, my style is collaborative, grounded, and practical. I aim to create a space where you feel understood and supported while also helping you slow down, gain clarity, and move forward with greater intention and confidence.
