Getting to know Rachael McGovern

Hi there, I'm Rachael! My name is Rachael McGovern, and I am an LICSW practicing in Massachusetts. I specialize in teenagers and young adults, with a primary focus on family work—whether that means working with a family together or supporting individuals healing from family experiences. I emphasize mindfulness, reducing stigma, and collaborating toward a common goal. My approach The therapeutic approach I most often use is solution-focused therapy, keeping a goal in mind and working through to achieve it. I am also certified in structural family therapy and frequently incorporate narrative therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. My focus I have been working in community mental health for five years and am comfortable providing therapy in both home and office environments. When appropriate, I consult with clients about community engagement. I am also comfortable providing services via telehealth. My communication style I tend to make therapy more of a relaxed conversation. I often ask questions—not to challenge, but to encourage reflection. I also frequently use humor. My journey to mental healthcare I have been working with youth in mental health since graduating with my associate’s degree in 2008. I completed my bachelor’s in psychology in 2016. During that time, I worked in residential settings with youth who have co-occurring disorders, high-support needs autism, youth sex-offenders, and in CBAT settings to ensure a safe return home from emergency room placements. I also worked for the Department of Children and Families because I wanted families to feel more supported and have access to appropriate resources for their child. I completed my Master’s in Social Work at Salem State University in May 2021 and have since been working with an in-home team that includes a mental health clinician (myself), bachelor-level support staff, and a master’s-level behavior analyst.
