Getting to know Rachel Pittsley
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Certified Perinatal Mental Health professional (PMH-C) who provides affirming, compassionate care to individuals, couples, and families. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and work with clients navigating infertility, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and parenting young children, as well as anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation challenges.
My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based therapies including DBT, ACT, CBT, and EFT, tailoring treatment to meet each client’s unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful, sustainable changes in their lives.
What should a new client know about working with you?
New clients can expect a warm, supportive, and collaborative therapy experience. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected from the start. My work is person-centered and trauma-informed, and I tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals.
I draw from evidence-based approaches including DBT, ACT, CBT, and EFT, balancing reflection with practical tools you can use outside of sessions. Whether you are navigating perinatal concerns, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, my goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and confident in your ability to create meaningful change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My typical process begins with building a strong therapeutic relationship and understanding your goals, history, and current concerns. Early sessions focus on assessment, collaboration, and identifying what you hope to gain from therapy, while ensuring you feel safe and supported.
As therapy progresses, we work together to develop a personalized treatment approach using evidence-based strategies tailored to your needs. Sessions often include a balance of reflection, skill-building, and practical tools you can apply in daily life. Throughout our work, I regularly check in to ensure therapy remains aligned with your goals and adjust our approach as needed, supporting steady, meaningful progress at a pace that feels right for you.
