Rachel Assael
Licensed Clinical Social Worker -
Balancing and tackling all of life’s many challenges can be tough- don’t go it alone! I am a behavioral health and holistic wellness psychotherapist with over eight years of clinical social work and counseling experience in NYC. I specialize in palliative and end-of-life care; treating grief, bereavement, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, life transitions, chronic illness, pain management, and relationship issues.
You can expect a respectful, non-judgmental, and supportive approach to therapy with me. I strive to create trusting and collaborative relationships with individuals, couples, and families to yield effective results in treatment. Guiding you in your journey of growth and healing, we will discover personalized mind/body/soul interventions that best fit your needs.
I provide a compassionate and strengths-based perspective during therapy, pulling from your own resiliency to balance and ultimately overcome presenting challenges. I use behavior modification and emotion regulation methods to focus on improving coping skills and problem solving. I specialize in several therapeutic modalities which I incorporate in sessions.
By aligning with your short- and long-term goals, we can develop action-based plans as I will guide and support you through this journey of self-discovery. I strongly believe that my model of therapeutic counseling empowers clients to create meaningful and productive lives, which you can too!
