SOMATIC THERAPY FOR ADULTS & COUPLES · CAMPBELL, CA
Something in you is ready to stop playing small.
Therapy for adults and couples ready to stop shrinking — in their relationships, their bodies, and their sense of self. Culturally attuned therapy for South Asians and others navigating two worlds.
“We don't heal in isolation. We heal in the presence of someone who can finally hold all of it.”
Areas of focus.
Relational Trauma & Healing
Infidelity, family rupture, childhood wounds. When trust breaks, it shows up everywhere.
Intimacy & Sexual Health
Desire discrepancy, body shame, lack of pleasure. What happens in the body during intimacy is rarely just physical.
Shame, Guilt & Cultural Identity
Parts of yourself you've learned to hide — your desires, your choices, and maybe even who you love. The exhaustion of living between who you are and who you're supposed to be.
Self Worth & Visibility
Am I enough to be loved? Is it okay to need what I need? The work here is learning to take up space without apologizing for it.
Sexual Trauma & Healing
Maybe you've never said it out loud. Maybe you're still not sure it counts. The body remembers even when the mind questions. You don't have to have it figured out to start.
Somatic Healing & Self Reconnection
Too activated or too shut down. Can't focus, can't rest, can't find yourself in the middle of it. This is the work of coming back to your body when it's stopped feeling safe to be in.
Therapy that meets you where you are.
Healing happens in the presence of another person. Not alone. It happens when you feel genuinely seen.
Before anything else, I want to know you. Not your symptoms, not your history as a checklist, but what actually makes up your life. I work to understand you from the inside out. I listen to what you say, and to what your body has been holding onto.
I work with many clients who are South Asian or navigating cultural identities where loyalty, family expectation, and the pressure to hold two versions of yourself at once are just part of the air. You won't have to translate that here.
We move slowly. As we do, things start to make more sense. Not because I hand you a framework, but because you begin to recognize yourself more clearly.
What healing looks like is yours to define. For some it's more ease in daily life, deeper connection with people they love, asking for what they want with less guilt. For others it's finally feeling like they belong, taking real pride in who they've become.
A life where you can take a full breath.
Rashmi Nayak
I am Rashmi, a therapist based in the Bay Area, California.
I came to this work the long way. A decade in engineering, a career that looked right from the outside and felt wrong from the inside. Becoming a mother. Doing my own work. Learning, slowly, to stop abandoning the parts of myself I had decided were too much or not enough.
I am South Asian, with more than two decades of living inside two cultural frameworks at once. I know the genuine gratitude for family, for community, for a culture that holds you. I also know how that same holding can feel like it has no room for who you actually are. The loyalty and the longing to do something different. The love and the weight of it. You don't have to choose which one is true in this room. They both are.
My training is in somatic and relational therapy, with advanced work in intimacy and sexual health. What I bring into the room is simpler than that: curiosity, humility, and a willingness to say the thing that has been going unnamed.
Once you know I am in your corner, I won't hedge. If you have been waiting for someone who can hold all of it, I would like that chance.

Answers to the questions that come up most often before a first session
We start with a complimentary 15-minute consultation to discuss what you're looking for and whether we're a good fit. If we decide to move forward, we'll schedule weekly 50-minute sessions — secure video or in-person. I'll send you some intake paperwork to complete before our first session.
If we're meeting via secure video, the main thing is to find a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be interrupted. Beyond that, no preparation is needed — you can come as you are.
I accept Aetna, and Optum. Co-pays vary by plan and deductible. I work with Alma and Headway to handle insurance billing — you can find more details on my Alma and Headway provider page.
Couples therapy is out-of-pocket only. Most insurance plans require a medical diagnosis for reimbursement, and I treat couples work as relational rather than diagnostic — so I don't assign a diagnosis for this service.
Yes. Individual sessions are $210 and couples sessions are $230. I provide superbills you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. I also partner with Thrizer, which streamlines out-of-network filing — most clients pay only their reduced copay upfront, saving roughly 70%.
Yes — I have availability for in-person sessions at my office in Campbell, CA.
When you are ready, this is where to begin.
Making that first call is weighted — scary, hopeful, sometimes even exciting. I don't take lightly that you're considering it. Currently accepting new clients. The 15-minute consultation is a conversation, not a commitment — a chance to see if we’re a good fit. Every inquiry is answered within 48 hours by me directly.

Your right to know the cost of care
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs before beginning services. This applies to all clients who are uninsured or who are not using insurance for therapy, which includes all couples and relationship therapy services at this practice. Your Good Faith Estimate will outline the anticipated cost of sessions based on your individual treatment plan. It is an estimate, not a cap or guarantee, and will be updated if your needs or frequency of sessions change over time. You will receive your Good Faith Estimate before your first appointment.
A note on response time
I respond to all contact form submissions, but not in real time. If you're in crisis, please don't wait — call or text 988, or call 911.
