Pritika Sehgal

Pritika Sehgal views seeking therapy as a brave first step toward healing, especially given the stigma that often surrounds mental health. Having navigated her own mental health journey, she understands that pain can be a part of life while suffering does not have to define one’s experience. Anxiety, depression, harsh self-criticism, unresolved past traumas, and even everyday stressors can become obstacles to living a more fulfilling life.

She brings a background in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), offering a range of practical coping skills designed to create balance and reduce reactive patterns that lead to distress. DBT emphasizes mindfulness as a core principle and can be applied in both individual and group therapy to support clients in building a life they value.

Specializing in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, she focuses on trauma-informed work that helps process and alleviate emotional pain. EMDR can be effective for different types and intensities of trauma, from deep-rooted past attachments to recurring triggers that produce distress.

Her practice is grounded in non-judgment and compassion, with an emphasis on holistic well-being and personal growth. With roots in India, she values cultural sensitivity and enjoys working with people from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, approaching diversity with empathy, respect, and curiosity. Pritika Sehgal is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA LMFT 126267), has 5 years of experience, and practices in California. She welcomes outreach and looks forward to connecting with prospective clients.
