Rachelle H. Henriquez-Gomez
(she/her)
Hello there future client! Lovely to meet you! My name is Rachelle (pronounced rey-chuhl).
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a specialization in Art Therapy, bilingual English/Spanish speaking, a first gen Dominican-American, and former New Yorker living in SoCal. I specialize in supporting BIPOC experiencing chronic mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD define themselves as individuals and not by any trauma they may have experienced.
In addition to applying a trauma-informed lens, psychology, and art, I integrate holistic approaches like Reiki, meditation, mindfulness, and sound therapy to create unique treatment interventions for my clients.
I know that starting therapy can feel scary. Especially when you have been labeled as "the problem", think you are not good enough, or have been conditioned to suppress your emotions. This is why developing trust in the first stage of treatment is of the utmost importance to me. I apply a compassionate and non-judgmental stance to help my clients feel safe when sharing their stories and starting their therapeutic journey.
Think we could be a good fit? Go ahead and schedule your first session. Let's work together to help you connect with your authentic self and improve your mental health! Looking forward to hearing from you!
Please note - I am not a good fit for clients interested in couples therapy, clients engaging in self-harm, clients experiencing any type of suicidal ideation including thoughts of death/dying, clients who have been hospitalized for psychiatric reasons at anytime in the past 12 months, clients needing support with substance abuse, and/or children aged 8 and under.
