Getting to know Rachel Staley
Rachel Staley, AMFT, is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist currently working under the supervision of licensed practitioner Lauren Gogarty, LMFT #96590, at Sessions Psychotherapy. She is a holistic psychotherapist and digital nomad who supports adults, adolescents/teens, and couples in their growth, well-being, and relationships while living and traveling around the world.
Her specialties include childhood healing and trauma, identity work, grief, relationship issues, intergenerational healing, unconventional lifestyles, and mind-body wellness. Rachel considers herself an ally, dedicated to learning and building trust with clients from LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other marginalized communities.
Rachel holds a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Temple University. After working in clinical research and beginning her own journey of self-exploration, she discovered her passion for helping others heal and lead happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.
As a collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed therapist, Rachel empowers clients to create safety in their mind, body, and soul by building self-compassion and self-trust. She believes in an individual’s inherent knowledge and resiliency, drawing from Narrative Therapy practices that teach us to rewrite the narratives that no longer serve us.
She invites clients to identify the effects of oppression and explore their responses and resources in the face of these challenges. Rachel also encourages examining societal pressures and finding ways that authenticity and nonconformity can transform pressure into intention. She adapts her therapeutic approach for each individual, incorporating supplemental therapies such as Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques.
