About Rachel Soifer
This Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor brings more than 30 years of experience supporting teens, adults, couples, and families through a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relationship challenges. Areas of focus include anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, adjustment difficulties, behavioral issues, relationship stress, and substance use concerns.
With extensive training across multiple therapeutic approaches, treatment may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), and substance abuse counseling.
Therapy is collaborative and thoughtfully tailored to each client’s individual needs, experiences, strengths, and goals. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, this counselor works with clients to identify meaningful strategies for managing challenges, strengthening relationships, and improving emotional well-being.
With a warm, supportive, and practical style, this counselor creates a respectful environment where clients can explore concerns openly, develop effective coping skills, build resilience, and work toward positive, sustainable change.
