Rachel Carlos

Hello, Im Rachel! I have been licensed for 9 years as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California with over ten years of experience providing clinical support services in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I am a major advocate for self-love and self-acceptance in both my personal and professional life. Regardless of our past traumas or experiences, I am a firm believer that we can all still live a healthy and positive life if we commit to focusing on our mental wellness!

I was drawn to this field by a deep desire to help others heal, grow, and thrive.

I use a Strength-Based and Client-Driven Approach in therapy, incorporating Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It's essential to me to offer a safe and comfortable space for all of my clients as we work together on issues related to trauma, depression, anxiety, self-love, and work-life balance.

I am culturally competent and have an open-minded approach to all aspects of my work. I aim to create a supportive and collaborative environment where my clients feel heard, validated, and empowered to make positive changes.

My goal is to help you gain greater self-understanding, develop effective coping strategies, improve your relationships, and lead a more fulfilling life that aligns with your values. I will tailor my approach to your unique needs, working at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

During our first session, I aim to get to know you and what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your background, current challenges, and hopes for the future. I'll share more about my approach and how I believe I can help. Most importantly, we'll start building the trust and rapport that will serve as the foundation of our work together. I look forward to taking this first step with you!
