About Rachel

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 9 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked in various settings including community mental health centers, primary care/pain management clinics, homeless shelters and outpatient substance use treatment facilities. I received my master's degree in Social Work in 2012 from Long Island University. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance use disorders, personality disorders, and PTSD . I have also helped many people who have experienced grief and loss and who struggle with chronic pain conditions and debilitating medical concerns. Further, I have experience working with people to develop and implement proactive, assertive communication styles to help them grow and maintain healthy interpersonal relationships. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in using labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and ACT counseling. I also strongly believe in the power of mindfulness exercises in re-shaping our brains. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! Read more Show less
