Rachael Cresci, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Rachael!

I am interested in getting you to where you want to be as soon as possible! I specialize in evidence-based practices. You identify the goals, and I will use interventions that will match your needs and get you to feel better soon.

My focus

I've worked with clients with various conditions and challenges over the years. I'm comfortable treating clients with complex medical challenges, addiction, and mood disorders.

My approach

I strive to create the best relationship with you. I will use different therapeutic modalities to help you identify what you need, where you want to go, and how to get there! I use motivational interviewing, client-centered, behavioral, and mindfulness interventions.

My communication style

I endeavor to create a trusting environment where you will be heard and supported. Establishing this environment will make it easy to get to work quickly and identify coping strategies and techniques that get you moving closer to your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I attended graduate school to earn my doctorate and receive more training. I've provided individual therapy, supporting clients through various life challenges and transitions.

My goals for you

In actively listening and helping you identify the life you want for yourself, goals will reveal themselves. Once we have those, we can create action steps toward them. I like to focus on solutions, not problems!

Our first session

Initial sessions always involve telling your story, your goals, and your expectations.
