Rachel Paz, LPC

Hi my name is Rachel Paz and I’m a licensed professional counselor. I am open to working with anyone ages 9 and up, but mostly find myself in sessions with teenagers and young adults. The challenges faced during those transition years often go unnoticed or talked about and it’s important to shed light on how difficult that time in life can be. I am passionate about this phase of life because it was also once challenging for myself and I am able to use my experiences to provide the utmost empathy and support for those in need. It takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to be in therapy and that is something we will practice celebrating together! My approaches to therapy are client-centered, solution focused with the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions with me might often look like me sitting criss-cross applesauce with some caffeine, giggles, coloring, doing worksheets together, having heartfelt conversations with lots of different emotions present and whatever else needs to take place to ensure this is a safe, effective and trusted time for you.
