Rachel Carlos, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Rachel!

I am a prominent advocate for self-love, self-acceptance, and emotional well-being in both my personal and professional life. I provide clinical support services focused on helping clients develop healthier relationships with themselves and others.

My focus

I specialize in seeing individuals and have experience working with at-risk populations. My specialties include self-esteem, coping skills, marital/pre-marital counseling, grief, pregnancy and prenatal/postpartum issues, LGBTQIA+ matters, and domestic violence.

My approach

I use a Strength-Based and Client-Driven Approach in therapy, incorporating Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It's essential to me to offer a safe and comfortable space for all of my clients as we work together on issues related to trauma, depression, self-love, and work-life balance.

My communication style

I am culturally competent and have an open-minded approach to all aspects of my work. I aim to create a supportive and collaborative environment where my clients feel heard, validated, and empowered to make positive changes.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey in mental healthcare began with a deep desire to help others heal, grow, and thrive. I was drawn to this field by witnessing the transformative power of therapy and wanting to be part of that healing process for others.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you gain greater self-understanding, develop effective coping strategies, improve your relationships, and lead a more fulfilling life that aligns with your values. I will tailor my approach to your unique needs, working at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

Our first session

During our first session, I aim to get to know you and what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your background, current challenges, and hopes for the future. I'll share more about my approach and how I believe I can help. Most importantly, we'll start building the trust and rapport that will serve as the foundation of our work together.
