Rachel Gordon

In my 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I've devoted myself to guiding individuals through the difficulties and challenges of their mental health journey. Central to my practice is a broad knowledge and expertise in addressing Anxiety, Depression and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), conditions that can profoundly impact daily life. Drawing from a wealth of experience, I've cultivated a therapeutic approach that is both evidence-based and deeply empathetic.

My therapeutic approach integrates elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. CBT assists clients in identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. Exposure therapy gradually helps people confront fears and anxieties in a controlled and supportive environment, promoting desensitization and resilience. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy techniques helps to explore unconscious dynamics and address underlying issues.

Clients can expect to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their challenges through our sessions, along with practical strategies to navigate and overcome them. Together, we'll work towards setting personalized goals that align with their aspirations and promote well-being. Whether it's managing symptoms of anxiety and depression, improving interpersonal relationships, or fostering personal growth and resilience, my aim is to empower clients to lead more fulfilling lives.
