Welcome! My name is Rachel and I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s difficulties and create meaningful change. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where clients bring their strengths to session, and I offer guidance, support, and evidenced-based tools to foster healing and personal growth. Prior to receiving my license, I gained about 5 years of experience in the mental health field.
I believe in the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to support clients in identifying their strengths, developing coping strategies, and working towards their goals. My approach is client-centered and tailored to meet you where you are, empowering you every step of the way.
At Jewish Family Services of Northeastern NY, we provide services to anyone regardless of religion, ethnic background, or economic status. If you feel we’d be a good fit for you, please reach out! We look forward to hearing from you.
