Getting to know David Rachman
Asking for help isn't easy, especially if you've spent most of your life handling things on your own. I work with people who are ready to stop white-knuckling through life and actually start feeling better. My clients often tell me they weren't sure about therapy — and weren't sure about seeing a male therapist specifically. A few sessions in, they usually tell me it was the best decision they made. I bring a background in both social work and applied neuroscience, which means I understand not just what you're feeling, but how the brain and body hold onto it. I offer weekend and evening appointments. Most of my clients call that a non-negotiable.
*Please Expect a Phone Call from our Office - Resilience Therapy - to confirm your scheduled appointment request.*
What should a new client know about working with you?
I specialize in anxiety (including social anxiety), addiction, trauma, grief, and the kind of general "off" feeling that doesn't have a neat label. My approach is direct and practical, and real strategies you can use between sessions. I have particular experience with people navigating the legal system, career stress, and major life transitions. I also work with clients for whom faith and cultural identity are part of the picture — Jewish background and family expectation included. I accept Aetna, Cigna, and Northwell Direct, and provide superbills for out-of-network plans.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My first priority is making sure you feel comfortable enough to say the real things, not the version of yourself you think a therapist wants to hear. That takes time and I don't rush it. Early sessions are about understanding your story. From there I'm active: I'll ask direct questions, offer honest reflections, and help you build practical tools that actually show up in your daily life, not just in the room.
