My name is Rachel Sartin, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Heart & Hustle Counseling. I specialize in trauma therapy and sex therapy, and I am deeply passionate about helping individuals and couples heal from the lasting impact of traumatic experiences. At Heart & Hustle Counseling, I work with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected after trauma. I have a particular passion for supporting individuals, who often carry the weight of repeated exposure to high-stress and traumatic events. I understand the unique pressures of these roles and strive to create a safe, respectful space where healing can happen without judgment or shame. I also specialize in working with couples, helping them move through relational ruptures, rebuild trust, and reconnect emotionally and physically. Whether couples are navigating betrayal, disconnection, or the effects of trauma on intimacy, I support them in restoring closeness, improving communication, and fostering long-term growth. I believe healing is possible—even after profound pain. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and rooted in compassion. At Heart & Hustle Counseling, my goal is to help clients reconnect with themselves and their relationships, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am a trauma and sex therapist who works with individuals, couples, and families to heal from painful experiences, rebuild trust, and cultivate healthy relationships. My approach integrates trauma-informed care and EMDR therapy to help clients process and release past wounds while developing new patterns of safety, connection, and self-understanding. I specialize in working with survivors of trauma and sexual violence, as well as those navigating intimacy concerns, sexual health, and relationship challenges. As a sex therapist, I provide a safe and supportive space for exploring issues around desire and communication. Making the decision to seek the support of a therapist is a very personal process and often occurs when one wants to change aspects of their life. I work collaboratively with clients to build a trusting and compassionate therapeutic alliance while ensuring an educational and empowering counseling experience.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with individuals and couples who are ready to do meaningful, honest work—even when it feels uncomfortable. My ideal clients are often high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns shaped by past experiences. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, including intimacy concerns and sexual health issues. Many of the people I support are first responders, helpers, or professionals who are used to taking care of others but struggle to prioritize themselves. You may be a good fit if you’re seeking: Healing from past or recent trauma Greater emotional regulation and a sense of safety in your body Improved communication, intimacy, and reconnection in your relationship Support processing high-stress or high-impact careers Therapy that is compassionate, structured, and grounded in evidence-based approaches I am especially well-suited for clients who are open to trauma-informed work, including EMDR, and who value growth, self-reflection, and lasting change. Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply ready for something different, therapy can be a place to reconnect with yourself and move forward with intention.
