Rachel Fishman
I understand that opening up about your life and its challenges can feel uncomfortable. That's why I am committed to providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and understood. My passion is to partner with you on your healing journey.
Together, we will gently explore what's holding you back and identify the most effective paths toward healing and personal growth.
Together, we will gently explore what's holding you back and identify the most effective paths toward healing and personal growth. I'm dedicated to applying evidence-based practices to ensure the most effective support for you.
First session
Our first session will be a chance for us to connect. I'll gather information about what brings you to therapy and what you're looking to gain. We'll also touch on your background and family history. From there, we'll begin to explore strategies I think can help you work toward your treatment goals.
Strengths
My hope for you is that through our work together, you will not only reach a better emotional place but also leave our sessions armed with practical, lasting skills. These are tools you can carry with you and apply long after our time together, empowering you to navigate life's complexities with greater resilience and a renewed sense of well-being. Let's work together to help you achieve your wellness goals and ultimately feel better.
Ideal clients
Does life sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving you searching for a sense of calm? Are you constantly telling yourself to "stop being so anxious" but struggle to find relief? Do you often find yourself saying, "I wish I felt more motivated?" If you're yearning for change, a desire to feel better, or a way to stop the incessant worrying, then you've already taken the courageous first step on your journey toward wellness. I help adults over 25 navigate a range of life's difficulties, including anxiety, phobias, infertility, relationship problems, challenges related to adoption, parenting, and the transition to parenthood.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Utilize CBT to treat anxiety disorders, phobias, and issues related to infertility. Work collaboratively with clients to create treatment plans to address their cognitions and behaviors that may be contributing to their distress. Work with clients to empower them with new skills they can take with them after our work together.
Motivational Interviewing
Utilize motivational interviewing to help clients to make changes they desire in their lives.
Strength-Based
Work with clients from a strength based perspective. Understanding that all clients have strengths from which to derive treatment. Always looking for clients strengths and helping clients to focus on their own strengths to build resilience. Help clients to see how their individual strengths have helped them through past challenges and how those strengths can continue to help them move forward.
