Rajni Gupta, LCMHCA, (she/her)
Therapist for women and mothers in Charlotte, NC
As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA), I believe that people are far more than the challenges they are experiencing. My approach to counseling is grounded in a developmental and growth-oriented perspective—viewing trauma, anxiety, and depression not simply as problems to be fixed, but as experiences that can offer opportunities for deeper understanding, healing, growth, and self-discovery.
My clinical experience working with clients recovering from abuse, neglect, trauma and addiction where I have supported individuals navigating a variety of life experiences and challenges. I draw from person-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based approaches, tailoring therapy to each person's unique needs, strengths, values, and goals.
At the heart of my work is a belief in self-actualization—the process of becoming more fully who we are and living in greater alignment with what matters most to us. I am passionate about walking alongside people as they explore their stories, develop greater self-awareness, build effective tools for navigating life's challenges, and move toward the life they want to create.
I am also a mother and a fresh empty-nester, an experience that has given me a personal appreciation for the transitions, identity shifts, grief, freedom, and new possibilities that can emerge throughout adulthood. I understand that growth often happens in seasons of change, and I value creating a therapeutic space where clients can feel seen, understood, and empowered to discover what comes next.
My hope is that therapy becomes more than a place to manage symptoms—it becomes a space for curiosity, connection, healing, and meaningful growth. I consider it a privilege to support each person as they move toward greater self-understanding, authenticity, and their own version of self-actualization. I receive clinical supervision from Shawna Lauer, LMFT-QS. Services available in Hindi, upon request.
