Rachel Meena

Hi there! I'm a psychotherapist who specializes in anxiety-related disorders and OCD. I see clients in person in Charlotte, NC and virtually across NC, MN, and MA.

You are not broken — but you may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. Many of my clients come to me feeling trapped in cycles of worry, self-criticism, intrusive thoughts, or compulsive behaviors that feel impossible to control. It’s exhausting to be on high alert all the time or to live with constant “what if” thinking. My primary modality is IFS but I also integrate mindfulness, EMDR for deeper trauma healing, and I-CBT and ERP for OCD treatment.

Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we slow down and get to know the different “parts” of you — the ones that overthink, the ones that carry fear, the ones that criticize, and the ones that push you toward rituals or avoidance. Instead of trying to silence these parts, we approach them with curiosity and compassion.

As you cultivate a kinder relationship with yourself, anxiety loses its grip and the urge to spiral or rely on compulsions begins to soften. You will then have more capacity to live according to your values and create a fuller, more satisfying life. Let’s work together to help you feel like yourself again—and finally at home in your own life.

In our first session, I will provide a biopsychosocial evaluation and we will discuss your goals for therapy. I am warm and collaborative and trained in a variety of models so we will tailor our plan according to what will serve you best.
