Rachel Yamada

Hi there, I'm Rachel!

I work with children, teens, and adults, using a specialized blend of behavior principles into my therapeutic practice. I love being able to work with clients from both a behavioral and mental health perspective, allowing space for big behaviors and big feelings to coexist and be processed together.

My focus

I have expertise in special education, behavior management, parent-child relationships, and parenting stress and coaching. I offer specialized therapeutic support for parents/caregivers of children with challenging behavior, high risk mental health needs, and differentiated developmental needs.

My approach

I started my career in special education as a behaviorist for children with autism and later worked as a school counselor for middle school students in East Los Angeles. I earned my BCBA in 2020 and my LCSW in 2021, allowing me to integrate behavior management techniques into my mental health practice.
