When I ask clients why they’ve come to therapy, many share a simple hope: "I just want to feel better." Often, they’re exhausted from feeling sad, lonely, irritable, or anxious—lying awake at night, wondering how they will get through the next day. They’re drained from giving so much in relationships yet still feeling 'not good enough.' If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. As a licensed clinical psychologist with years of experience, I understand how painful these challenges can be. And I also know that positive change is possible. Through our meaningful work together, you can feel better about yourself and your relationships.

I have a passion for connecting with clients to help them overcome their struggles and create renewed energy for life. To be human is to experience loss, difficulty, and heartache. But there is hope. As humans we also have the capacity to manage our problems, heal, and change our lives for the better. Perhaps you recently went through a break-up, job loss, or the death of a loved one. Or perhaps you just feel stuck in life and unable to break free from negative thoughts or unwanted emotions. You may be looking for a new life purpose or to change your story. Regardless of what you are going through, I believe therapy can help.

I'm Rachel Friedman. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe it is crucial people have an opportunity to be heard in a judgment-free relationship in order to heal. I use a mix of approaches and tailor them to what may best serve the client. If the client indicates interest in a particular modality I will also accommodate that. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Hard Reduction Strategies, and Psychoanalysis. I am trained in other approaches too though.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
