Therapy for Transgender and Nonbinary Individuals
I provide affirming therapy for transgender and nonbinary individuals seeking a supportive space to explore identity, resilience, and belonging. Using a strengths-based approach that centers authenticity and empowerment, we’ll navigate challenges, build self-acceptance, and foster personal growth and overall well-being.

Trauma Recovery Therapy
Healing from trauma takes courage—and you don’t have to do it alone. I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for individuals recovering from trauma, CPTSD, or PTSD.

Services
Whether you’re seeking therapy, support for your child, or professional consultation, I’d be glad to connect and learn how I can help.
-
I provide affirming therapy for children and teens navigating identity development, anxiety, mood changes, and social or academic challenges. My work supports both the young person and their caregivers, recognizing that family involvement is key to meaningful progress.
When helpful, I collaborate with schools, doctors, and other providers to ensure consistent care across settings—attending IEP meetings or medical appointments as part of a comprehensive support plan. Together, we build emotional regulation, communication, and self-advocacy skills that foster confidence and connection.
-
Parenting a transgender or gender-diverse child can bring both pride and uncertainty as you navigate new experiences together. I provide affirming support for parents and caregivers seeking guidance, understanding, and connection as their child explores identity and growth.
Together, we’ll build confidence in supporting your child at home, in school, and in medical settings—developing strategies grounded in empathy, communication, and advocacy. I also collaborate directly with schools or providers when appropriate, helping you feel informed and empowered throughout your family’s journey.
-
I provide affirming online therapy for adults navigating stress, identity transitions, relationships, or life changes. Sessions offer a compassionate space to reflect, recognize patterns, and develop practical strategies for balance and emotional well-being.
I view therapy as a collaborative process—you are the expert on your own life, and together we build on your insight and strengths. My approach integrates evidence-based practices like CBT and ACT with a strengths-based lens that fosters resilience, growth, and authenticity.

With specialized expertise in supporting transgender, gender-diverse, and neurodivergent youth, I provide consultation and training for clinicians, educators, and organizations seeking to strengthen their affirming practices.

Practical tools to create inclusive, supportive environments that honor each young person’s unique journey.

I offer clinical supervision for early-career psychologists and therapists seeking guidance in evidence-based, affirming care for transgender, gender-diverse, and neurodivergent youth. Supervision provides a collaborative space to deepen clinical formulation, strengthen intervention skills, and build confidence in navigating complex cases.

Hi, I’m Rachel (she/they)
I take an individualized, affirming approach to therapy that honors each person’s unique way of thinking, feeling, and moving through the world. My practice is welcoming to neurodivergent, transgender, and nonbinary clients, and to anyone seeking a space that feels safe and genuinely supportive.
I’m a licensed psychologist in Connecticut, and pending licensure in New York, offering virtual therapy for children, teens, and adults.
My work centers on helping people and families find steadier ground — to understand themselves more fully, navigate change with compassion, and grow into who they want to be.
I earned my B.A. from Wellesley College and both my M.A. and Ph.D. in Clinical Child Psychology from the University of Kansas, and completed my clinical internship and postdoctoral fellowship at Yale University, specializing in evidence-based treatment for youth and young adults. My experience across hospital, university, and outpatient settings has shaped a collaborative, trauma-informed approach that values both scientific rigor and authentic human connection.
As a queer clinician, I strive to create spaces that honor every person’s authenticity and lived experience. I believe therapy should be as individual as the people it serves — a place for curiosity, healing, and growth in an environment of safety and respect.
