Rachel Lauria

My communication style

I create an inviting, relaxed, and validating environment where you can be your most authentic self without fear of judgment. I ask relevant, prompting questions that help you identify strengths and needs, and I gently challenge discomfort at a level you can tolerate to make lasting changes.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been drawn to helping professions. I find great reward in working with people to help them find the best version of themselves. I'm passionate about creating a safe space where you can explore who you are, who you want to be, and ways to reach your full potential.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as an iterative process. I meet you where you are and help you set specific, measurable goals that we assess and adjust dynamically as your needs evolve.

Our first session

I focus the first session or two on rapport building and information gathering. We'll set expectations, identify your chief concerns, and begin translating those into specific goals for our work together.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Christian
