Rachel DaCosta, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Rachel!

I am passionate about therapy and the healing that comes through participation in the therapy process. Using a supportive, collaborative, and strength-based approach, I have been providing mental health support to a diverse population of clients.

My focus

I work collaboratively to support individuals struggling with Relational issues, both past and present, Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, Trauma, ADHD, and situational stressors, as well as other challenges.

My approach

My approach is eclectic, client-centered, and holistic, rooted strongly in Attachment Theory, Family Systems, Positive Psychology, and Humanism. I also utilize Mindfulness, Behavior Modification, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing treatment modalities and strategies.

My communication style

My style is warm, accepting, and non-judgmental, and my goal is to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment for clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always had an interest in becoming a therapist. I pursued Psychology as an Undergraduate, and this furthered my resolve to want to provide service in the field of mental health. I truly believe in the healing that can occur through participation in the therapeutic process.

My goals for you

Through collaboration and exploration, we can clarify your needs, wants, and preferences. I want to tailor therapy to fit your needs and goals.

Our first session

I offer kind, compassionate, and non-judgmental therapy to assist you in your time of need. Our first session together will give us the opportunity to get to know each other as we begin to explore how therapy might be most helpful to you.
