Getting to know Rachel Lauria

Hi there, I'm Rachel! My name is Rachel Lauria, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University. I tend to use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-informed approach in my practice. I've been described as warm and empathetic as well as direct and motivating. My approach I most commonly incorporate CBT/DBT-informed approaches as well as client-centered, psychodynamic, and family systems approaches. I also tend to incorporate an integrative holistic approach to my assessment and treatment. My focus The bulk of my experience has been predominantly with trauma and crisis, including acute psychiatric social work, child welfare, adoption and attachment, complex trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder, anxiety and other mood-related disorders, and neurodivergent populations. My communication style I like to create an inviting, relaxed, and validating environment where individuals can feel comfortable being their most authentic selves without fear of judgment. My style tends to lean more toward asking relevant, prompting questions that help individuals identify their areas of strength and need. I work to gently challenge discomfort at a level that my clients can tolerate to make helpful, lasting changes. My journey to mental healthcare I seem to have always been drawn to the "helping professions." I find great reward in working with individuals to help them find the best version of themselves. I am passionate about my work, and I think it is so important that individuals find a safe space where they can truly explore who they are, who they want to be, and ways to optimize their full potential. We are all so uniquely different, with widely varying strengths and gifts to contribute to this life. I feel honored and privileged to be able to be a part of people's journeys in this way.
