Compassionate Therapy for Healing Childhood Trauma in Adults
IN-Person AND Virtual Therapy In Houston and For ALL Texas RESIDeNTS
Are You an Adult Still Carrying the Pain of Childhood?
So many of the symptoms we carry — anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, relationship struggles, chronic guilt or shame — are rooted in unresolved childhood trauma. Growing up in a dysfunctional or emotionally neglectful environment often means you never felt safe, seen, or supported.
That kind of pain doesn’t just go away with time — it hides in our nervous system, relationships, and self-worth.
Healing means going back to the root.
Healing from childhood trauma is about returning to your true self — the part of you that never had to earn love or silence parts of yourself to be accepted.
You’re not lost. You’re rediscovering who you are.
If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’ve been carrying something heavy for a long time — the weight of childhood trauma. Maybe you’ve felt stuck in patterns of anxiety, depression, or codependent relationships that never seem to change. It might feel like no matter how much you try to “move on,” something deeper keeps pulling you back into pain.
I want you to know this: it’s not your fault. And you are not alone.
If the following sounds familiar, you may be living with the long-term effects of childhood trauma — and not even realize it.

Grief is a natural and deeply personal response to loss. If you've recently experienced the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, or something significant in your life, it's essential to recognize that grief can take many forms and affect people differently.
During this challenging time, therapy can offer a safe space for you to explore your emotions, process your grief, and find healthy ways to cope and heal. Together, we can work towards understanding your unique grief journey and provide the support you need to navigate through this difficult period, finding a path towards acceptance, resilience, and a sense of renewal.

Facing challenges in your relationships is a common and often intricate part of life. Be it difficulties with a partner, family member, friend, or colleague, these issues can lead to emotional distress and unease. Through therapy, we delve into the dynamics of your relationships, explore effective communication strategies, and address conflicts and disconnections. By doing so, we can help you build more resilient and fulfilling connections. Together, we'll navigate the complexities of your relationships and create a path towards healthier and more harmonious interactions, leading to greater overall well-being and satisfaction.

Sometimes, the pain from our past experiences can linger, casting a shadow over our present lives. Unresolved traumas, past relationships, or childhood events can leave emotional wounds that affect our daily well-being. In therapy, we create a safe and supportive environment for you to explore and heal from these past pains. Together, we'll work on understanding the roots of this pain, processing the emotions, and developing strategies to move forward. By addressing and releasing the pain from your past, you can embark on a journey towards emotional freedom, personal growth, and a brighter, more hopeful future.

Feeling stuck is a common experience, and it can manifest in various aspects of life, from career decisions to personal growth and beyond. If you're at a crossroads and uncertain about the next steps, therapy can provide the guidance and tools to help you regain clarity and momentum. Together, we'll explore the factors contributing to your feeling of being 'stuck,' identify goals and aspirations, and create a tailored plan to move forward. By working through these challenges, you can gain a renewed sense of purpose, overcome obstacles, and embark on a path of personal and professional growth.

It's not uncommon to grapple with self-doubt and a persistent sense of inadequacy. These feelings can be particularly debilitating, affecting your self-esteem, relationships, and overall quality of life. In therapy, we focus on understanding the underlying causes of your self-doubt, addressing negative thought patterns, and building self-compassion and self-acceptance. Together, we'll work on strategies to challenge and reframe those feelings of 'not being good enough.' By doing so, you can cultivate a stronger sense of self-worth, confidence, and a more positive self-image, allowing you to live a more fulfilling and authentic life
Hi, I’m Natasha Mahesh.
Supervised by Reem Glasco, LPC-SI believe you deserve relief from pain and hope for healing.
As a therapist specializing in adult children of dysfunctional families, I bring a deeply empathetic and personal understanding to the healing journey. Just like many of my clients, I was once a highly-sensitive child whose emotions were often misunderstood and invalidated. My own healing path inspired me to break the generational cycle and discover my true self.

My Approach
To support your healing, I integrate evidence-based and intuitive approaches that go beyond talk therapy and access the deeper layers of your experience.
Brainspotting
This powerful brain-body modality helps access and release trauma stored deep in the nervous system. If you've ever felt stuck in traditional therapy, Brainspotting may be what helps you finally shift what feels frozen inside. It’s especially effective for grief, anxiety, chronic stress, and trauma that’s hard to verbalize.
Brainspotting is a powerful method that helps access and release trauma stored in the body and subconscious brain. Especially useful for preverbal trauma or experiences that are hard to talk about, it helps you move beyond just “understanding” the trauma — and actually release it.
Tarot as a Reflective Tool
Tarot can be a powerful way to connect with your inner self. It’s not about predicting your future — it’s about accessing your intuition and unconscious patterns through rich, metaphorical imagery that speaks to your deeper truths. Tarot invites deeper conversations and insights, helping you tune into parts of yourself that may have long gone unheard.
Tarot is not fortune-telling — it’s a soulful, intuitive tool we can use in session to explore your inner world, patterns, and emotional blocks. It’s especially helpful when words are hard to find, or when you feel disconnected from your own truth.
EMDR
EMDR (or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) allows you to reprocess painful memories and shift the limiting beliefs they’ve created. Instead of constantly reliving old pain, your brain gets the chance to complete the story. This is especially helpful for healing attachment trauma, emotional neglect, and inner critical voices.
EMDR is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories. Instead of being stuck in cycles of emotional reactivity or self-blame, you can begin to experience real emotional freedom from your past.
Why Focus on Healing Childhood Trauma?
Because your past still lives in your body and relationships — whether or not you can remember every detail.
Because symptoms like anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles make sense in light of what you’ve been through.
And because healing at the root brings true, lasting transformation—not just temporary relief.
