Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I integrate traditional psychotherapy services with non-traditional reiki energy treatments as a holistic approach to treating body, mind, and soul.

My theoretical background is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I take on an empowering, strength-based approach when working with clients. I provide individual, family, and group therapy to adolescents, and adults. I see myself as a hard working, passionate, and creative worker who is dedicated to offering only the highest quality of behavioral health services.

I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as well as a Sex Offender Treatment Specialist. I am trained in exposure based cognitive behavioral therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I work extensively with people of all sexual orientations and preferences. I am experienced in treating transgender persons and am also BDSM and poly/kink friendly.

It is my belief that we are all writing our own stories as we live them, and my goal is to provide guidance and support in helping people create a future where they feel better capable of enjoying life’s pleasures and facing its challenges. Together, we can make space to grapple with anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. As a sex educator with specialized training in LGBTQIA+ therapy from the Psychotherapy Center for Gender and Sexuality, I have a wealth of knowledge to apply to non-judgmental exploration of sexual issues.

At my practice Divergent Worlds I provide psychotherapy for adults, young adults, and relationships; supervision for associates; and clinical consultations. I approach this work with a collaborative style, supporting people as they engage in their therapy experience. I provide non-judgmental supportive therapy for people with a range of sexual, relationship, and gender identities and experiences, including LGBTQIQA2S, BDSM, sexual variations, furries, non-monogamy, non binary gender and gender fluidity, and sex workers. I specialize in working through sexuality/gender/relationship related concerns, and supporting these folks with the other aspects of their inner and outer worlds. In my practice and in my world, I acknowledge and work to address systematic and environmental barriers and oppression, and I strive to build a practice and a therapeutic space that includes all aspects of your world. I focus on trauma recovery, body image, disability, impulse control, depression, anxiety, creating boundaries, self esteem, empowerment, substance abuse, adaptive coping skills, and relationships. I believe that therapy should be accessible for everybody who wants it. As part of my efforts to increase access to supportive services, I use a sliding scale and accept Medi-Cal. Please feel free to contact me for more information or to schedule an appointment.

I offer private therapy sessions with individuals or established relationship groups. These sessions are 50 minutes as standard, but this can be negotiated based on your individual needs and requirements.

I generally work with clients who fall into the category of gender, sexuality or relationship diverse (GSRD), whether that means someone is kinky, polyamorous, a sex worker, or queer (or a combination!). I offer a non-judgemental and supportive space for people regardless of what they bring into our sessions.

I work in an integrative way. This means I pull from a variety of different therapeutic models, including humanistic, person-centred and existential. These terms might not mean a lot to you unless you are a therapist, but it basically means I will adapt the way I work to best suit you and your goals.

I work both short-term and long-term with clients based on your goals and needs.

I am a psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and families in center city Philadelphia. I work with children, teens, young adults, and adults of all genders, orientations, and relationship structures. My practice is based in relational, psychodynamic and strengths-based theoretical orientations. I also integrate narrative and feminist approaches to enrich and empower the existing resilience in each client. I have specialized experience in working with transgender and queer individuals and provide affirming, nonjudgmental therapy for all folks from age 4 to 54.

I specialize in working with family systems, including polyamorous individuals and a variety of relational dynamics. Therapy with myself is often spent addressing communication, conflict resolution, and boundaries, as well as childhood traumas, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, parenting issues, and work/life balance. I have extensive experience working clinically on these dynamics, as well as having taught family systems (including polyamorous familial dynamics) at the collegiate level.

Hi, I’m Rachelle (she/her).

I am a relationship therapist with a Master of Counselling from the University of Queensland. I have previously worked with both adolescents and adults, but currently focus on supporting individuals (aged 18+), couples, polycules and families.

Many of the people I work with come to relationship counselling with no previous experience in therapy, and have nerves about what it will be like. I intend to follow a pace that you are comfortable with, and aim to foster a space of safety in our work together. I approach the work we will do from an attachment framework, and draw from approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centred Therapy. I strive to support clients in tapping into their own authenticity, and explore what is valuable to them.

My work is inclusive of all relationship styles (polyamory, non-monogamy, monogamish), is LGBTQIA+ welcoming, kirk affirming and sex worker allied.

You deserve to work with someone who is accepting and treats you with respect. I will never judge you or expect you to make changes that don’t fit with who you are as a person. I know it’s difficult to find someone who is truly supportive. I trust that you know what’s right for you.

My goal is to be supportive and help you to live the life you want as the best version of yourself. I provide a safe space for you to explore and heal. You have the right to choose the kind of relationships that you want to be in and to be supported in developing them.

I have an online, teletherapy only practice and see Couples, Individuals, Young Adults, Teens & Families throughout California. I offer a free online consultation to answer questions and check for a good fit. My specialties are relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, grief, addictions, parenting, self-esteem, nutrition for mental health and therapy for therapists.

I specialize in relationships, not just couples, but healthy relationships within ourselves. Often times we struggle with presenting concerns such as: past trauma, anxiety,depression and other mental health issues. I believe in healthy sexuality and work from a sex positive frame work with members of the LGBTQIA, BDSM, Kink and non-monogamous lifestyles such as polyamory, swinging. It has become a passion of mine to help those who identify as part of these communities to become secure in their sexuality and have happy healthy relationships. I am a certified Emotionally Focused Couples therapist and I take those same concepts and apply them to poly or other alternative lifestyle relationships. I help client’s discover their true sexuality and achieve more secure attachments to their partners, strengthen communication, and go beyond the surface to help clients understand feelings of jealousy.

I have a passion for working with people from alternative and historically marginalized backgrounds and experiences, including, but not limited to, gender and sexual minorities, and atheists, agnostics, or people with otherwise non-conforming spiritual, religious, or magick practices. I most often work with people who are feeling that they don’t fit in, concerned with how others perceive them, heartbroken or grief-stricken, uncomfortable with the gender they were assigned at birth and seeking out transition, fear of being watched or followed, or uncertain they are on the right track.

As your therapist, I will collaborate with you to find the tools and skills that best suit you and your needs.

I welcome your weirdness.
