Racheli Freedman, LCSW

My role as a therapist is to guide you through your challenges, helping you emerge strong and empowered. Trust and safety are the foundation of our work together. During sessions, we focus on valuing each emotion you feel and then we build skills so you can manage your emotions with clarity. The therapy I offer emphasizes moving past struggles to a brighter and happier future. 

My primary work is with women and children, helping create satisfying relationships with themself and others. Through our work together, I help my clients overcome anxiety, negative thought patterns, past traumas, and develop a deeper understanding of themself and their surroundings. As a rape crisis counselor, I bring extensive experience in crisis intervention, domestic violence, and sexual trauma support. 

My work with children is meaningful and dynamic. I often use art and recreational therapy as the first step to engage with the child and start the therapeutic process. I connect with children on their level, making their therapy relatable and fun. During sessions, you'll often find me sitting on the floor, laughing with the child, and allowing them to take the lead as we work towards their goal. I collaborate with parents, offering parental guidance for an all-encompassing form of healing.

My role as a therapist is to walk alongside you on your life journey, offering support, encouragement, and a safe, nonjudgmental space to express yourself. With patience, empathy, and a caring approach, I help you discover clarity, meaning, and the tools to navigate life's challenges. Together we work towards healing, personal growth, and building the life you envision for yourself.
