Rachel Friedman

My communication style

I strive to provide a judgment-free space. I like for sessions to feel casual in the sense that the client feels they can comfortably share updates from week to week in a way that feels natural for them. I show the clients positive regard and like to use a strengths-based perspective.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love to help other people and wanted a career that would allow me to make meaningful connections with people. My passion for mental health is what drives my work.

My goals for you

Collaboratively! I will ask them what they want to work on and then discuss what steps sound realistic to them.

Our first session

I ask a lot of questions during the first session in order to develop a sense of understanding of the client. I make sure the clients know that it is ok to decline to answer some questions because they can always choose to reveal more information in later sessions if they are not ready to address some things immediately.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
