Professional statement

Rachael Alba is a licensed therapist serving Rhode Island and Washington State. She is a reproductive and trauma therapist helping women navigating infertility, perinatal mood disorders, pregnancy or infant loss, and termination of pregnancies. She also works with individuals who are seeking healing from trauma, anxiety, and grief unrelated to reproduction. Rachael’s approach is collaborative and strengths based.

Rachael helps clients move from hopeless and discouraged to healthy and thriving. She helps her clients find confidence, clarity, and peace by equipping them with the tools they need to navigate challenges and grieve their losses. She also guides clients through decision making challenges pertaining to infertility and early parenthood. Anxiety and grief are common categories that are present in Rachael's work with a wide range of clients. Helping you to find effective support and direction is a primary priority in Rachael’s work with all of her clients.

Many solutions for trauma, anxiety, and loss are generalized, one-size-fits-all models that leave you feeling uncertain about your progress. Rachael provides integrative and holistic care that prioritizes your particular situation as the foundation for your work together. She offers a safe and inviting space for you to be well seen and heard. From that place, she works with you to craft a plan that is goal specific and actively propels you toward the life you desire.

Rachael holds an MA in Counseling Psychology and a BA in Human Development. She is also PMH-C Certified in reproductive mental health. Rachael has completed a number of post-graduate trainings to enhance her work with clients experiencing trauma, grief, anxiety, attachment, and parenting.

Message to clients

Hello! I'm glad you are here. My specific training in reproductive and trauma therapy means I have the expertise you need when navigating struggles like postpartum depression, infertility, or relational trauma. Your pain matters and I take great care in gently holding your particular reality with you. While my credentials are important, I am aware that you are also looking to work with someone who really “gets” you; someone who uniquely understands your pain.

I understand, and because of that, I have devoted my career to working with women like you, who deserve individualized care and effective support along your path. When we work together, you won’t just get a therapist who is technically trained but also one who genuinely empathizes with the difficult reality you are facing, be it through infertility, anxiety, or any number of other challenges. Grief and struggle impact all people at some point, but I prioritize your unique experience, help you create an actionable plan, and hold hope for healing and joy on your behalf.

Finally, I believe that you posses strength and goodness, simply by existing. By increasing self-compassion and understanding, you are better positioned to do the powerful work of growing through your challenges. Seeking therapy is a courageous choice that will ease your burden and provide relief from pain. It is well worth the investment in yourself!
