Rachelle Goldenberg

If you've spent years masking, over-explaining, or fitting into spaces that were never built for you — this is different. I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with an MSW from UC Berkeley. My practice centers neurodivergent adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, people navigating complex cultural identities, and those carrying trauma. I draw from evidence-based approaches and the healing traditions of my Tlingit and Hawaiian heritage. Before private practice, I worked with communities traditional therapy often overlooked — including first responders. You don't need to be fixed here. You need to be understood.

Before opening my private practice, I worked as a first responder, and also in government service and community settings and with diverse populations who often felt overlooked by traditional therapy and support approaches.

What It's Like to Work Together

Sessions are collaborative, strength-focused. Neurodivergent adults: Autism (1) / ADHD aren't problems to solve. We build strategies that work with your brain. I offer trauma and PTSD support, including the toll of chronic high-stress living. I also treat anxiety, depression, and the complexity of navigating identity when the world doesn't make room for you.

Areas of Focus:

• Neurodivergence (autism level 1, AuDHD, ADHD)
• Trauma / PTSD / First Responder Support
• Gender /cultural identity exploration and affirmation
• Professional Exec. Function / Workplace Stress
• Neurofeedback Training (Myndlift Provider)

What Sessions Look Like in your first session:

We work together to outline your reasons for coming to therapy, see if it's a good match, and plan your journey using the information you provide. We evaluate the type of support you need and find your individual support needs.
