More about Rachel
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in New York and Georgia, specializing in supporting young adults through life's complex challenges. Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of clients, including marginalized youth, young adults, and young parenting women, helping them navigate complex life transitions and systemic challenges.
I work with clients experiencing a wide variety of concerns, including trauma and emotional recovery, crisis situations and safety planning, life transitions such as housing instability and financial stress, and parenting challenges unique to young mothers.
My therapy style is compassionate, non-judgmental, and interactive. I believe in fostering a healing environment built on respect, sensitivity, and cultural appropriateness. My approach is deeply rooted in trauma-informed care and the implementation of holistic treatment plans. I focus on your unique strengths to help you build stability and long-term safety.
Whether you are navigating a recent crisis or seeking to heal from long-standing trauma, I will tailor our dialogue and treatment goals to meet your specific needs. I have spent years teaching and supervising in the field of social work, and I bring that same dedication to education and empowerment to our sessions.
It takes significant courage to seek a more stable, fulfilling life and to take those first steps toward change. If you are ready to begin that journey, I am here to support and empower you every step of the way.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
