Rachel Heitler, LMFT

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Masters in Counseling Psychology from the Wright Institute (Berkeley, CA).

 

Prior to opening my own private practice, I provided mental health services to children, adolescents, adults, and families while completing my clinical training at Crisis Support Services of Alameda County.

 

I have developed my expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) through coursework with the Beck Institute and through ongoing consultation with Deborah Efron, LCSW.

 

I have experience with clients facing a broad spectrum of issues:

 

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Obsessive compulsive behaviors

• Chronic health issues

• Grief and loss

• Relationship challenges

• Transition from employment to retirement

• Survivors of suicide and homicide

• Homebound seniors with end of life issues

• Elementary and high school students struggling with academic pressure, peer and parental relationships, anxiety and depression

• Suicidal ideation and/or self-harming behaviors
