Dr. Rain Latchman

I began my professional journey in the entertainment industry as an artist. As a creative, I witnessed many talented creatives struggle with addiction and emotional regulation challenges, which from one side of the road, appeared rooted in some type of trauma.

After retiring as an artist, I pursued a career in law, drawing on my experiences as an artist to navigate the complex issues people drawn to creative expression find themselves facing. This ignited a newfound desire and curiosity about spirituality which led me to theology school. That theological journey provided a deeper understanding of how modernity and science created a new world of "productivity and perfectionism" which often influenced one's worldview and self perception.

The diversity of my education and experiences allows me to view human beings in what I believe is a uniquely beautiful way. While I can appreciate accomplishments and successes, I can also recognize that sometimes the drive for achievement stems from feelings of emptiness or a deep longing.

My focus lies in exploring our developmental histories, particularly through the lens of attachment and culture. I acknowledge the prevalent, yet often unrecognized trauma inherent in our hierarchical world: shaped by factors like religion, gender, and money.

I suppose what I do is strive to help clients embrace their humanity. Fully.

Lastly, I am passionate about supporting marginalized groups and those seeking to redefine their relationship with perfectionism.

My goal is to assist clients in becoming their best selves, while finding a balance where they are neither driven by anxiety, nor constrained by depression.

I guide them in accepting and celebrating the fullness of their humanity--- while also empowering them to step into their personal power and potential.

In therapy, I embrace the notion that our role as clinicians is to guide individuals back to wholeness....through genuine connection and care.

Central to my approach is the focus on attachment and emotional regulation, where the therapeutic journey involves walking alongside clients and serving as a clear mirror, reflecting strengths and potential... for empowerment, transformation, and healing.

I view each person not as broken or ill, but as a human being navigating the complexities and traumas of life, often internalized at a young age.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), narrative therapy, cognitive and behavioral strategies, as well as somatic and trauma-informed practices.

Together, we work toward understanding and healing the past... while cultivating a more fulfilling present and future.

In our sessions, clients can anticipate a safe space to delve deeply into emotions that may have previously felt uncomfortable.

Together, we will explore life experiences that reveal each clients innate resilience and resourcefulness --- while simultaneously empowering them to navigate whatever challenges life presents.

Many individuals struggle with painful emotions, and part of our work will be to uncover the reasons behind any resistance to "feeling the feels".

My intentions, from day 1 is to support you in :

Understanding and embracing emotions as a fundamental aspect of being human.

Cultivate comfort with exploring feelings, while also building inner resources, accessing your personal healing and resilience in transformative ways.

Lastly:

My hope is that by the end of our therapeutic journey, clients will feel radically transformed—experiencing themselves as more grounded, expressive, and regulated, with a renewed excitement for the future that isn't tinged by anxiety.

Ultimately, I aim for each client to embrace their humanity in extraordinary ways.

***While the process may be challenging, it will undoubtedly be rewarding and worthwhile.
