Professional statement

Rachel Siegel is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Boston, MA. She focuses on working with adolescents and young adults. Many of Rachel's clients are excited about their potential next steps in life but also feel anxious about all the changes coming their way. They are wondering how they are going to balance their future responsibilities while also maintaining the relationships they have had for many years. Rachel is very aware of the emotions that can show up for individuals going through life transitions including excitement and the pain of leaving what is familiar.

In her practice, Rachel employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients understand the intricate connections between thoughts, emotions and behaviors. She helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and supports them with changing to more realistic ways of thinking that lead to a calmer state of mind. Another technique Rachel uses is Exposure Therapy which involves facing a fear in a systematic and planned out way so that the discomfort around the situation or object decreases over time.

In addition to her warm, empathetic and non-judgmental style, Rachel finds that using humor can be healing. She focuses on strengths to help clients reach their goals and make the changes they are hoping to achieve. Rachel also believes self-compassion is a key ingredient in life and in the therapy space.

Rachel provides telehealth therapy which means clients can see Rachel from the comfort of their own home. She has day and evening appointments available Monday through Thursday. A free consult can be scheduled in Rachel's calendar or you can message her directly to set up another time that works for you.


Message to clients

It is not an easy decision to start therapy or open up to someone about your most uncomfortable emotions or deepest pain. The work in therapy is challenging but it can also be rewarding to learn more about yourself and understand how your life experiences have shaped the way you think and experience the world. As your therapist, I will be here to talk about your biggest stressors and also celebrate with you in your achievements. Life is full of changes and emotions and it can be beneficial to have someone in your corner to help you process your thoughts and feelings around relationships and other circumstances.

The therapeutic relationship is the most important part of therapy and my hope is that we can develop the trust you need to share your thoughts and feelings in a safe space. Therapy is an investment into your emotional well-being and it is a privilege for me to be a part of your journey. I look forward to supporting you and helping you achieve the goals that brought you into therapy.
