Getting to know Rachel Tan
Hello, I'm glad you're here! Therapy with me is warm, authentic, and laid-back. It's a space where you can start getting unstuck, cultivate curiosity and compassion, and listen gently to your mind, body, and heart. We'll help you slow down from life's chaos, deepen your relationship with yourself and others, and live with more clarity and intention. I believe that therapy is more than just learning how to cope – it's about experiencing lasting transformation and joy, and I'm here by your side through both the messiness and the growth.
I specialize in working with Asian women, children of immigrants, individuals navigating multiple cultures, young adults, and creatives. My focus is on supporting people with anxiety, life transitions, intergenerational trauma, family and relationship challenges, and identity exploration. Overall, I enjoy working with people who are eager to learn more about themselves, feel more connected with others, and explore mental wellness through a systemic and anti-oppressive lens. I received my Master of Social Work from Columbia University, and I am a culturally-responsive and LGBTQIA+-affirming clinician.
If any of this resonates with you, I encourage you to schedule an appointment so we can get to know each other and get started towards your therapeutic goals. I would be honored to go on this journey with you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
I bring compassion, curiosity, and calm to our conversations, since I know that beginning therapy can feel intimidating. We'll work together to help you feel lighter and more connected with your strengths, authenticity, and deeper self. With care for your unique context, culture, and needs, I welcome you as not just the challenges you face, but as a whole person.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I incorporate a mix of relational and experiential therapies, meaning that our sessions go beyond just talking. We'll use hands-on approaches that engage the mind-body-heart connection, emphasize the value of human relationships (including ours!), and meet your "unwanted" parts with openness and compassion. Our work will be grounded in connection, mindfulness, and embodied healing.

I was very lucky to connect with Rachel Tan, LMSW. She is a warm and caring individual with excellent skills. It’s been 8 months I’ve been her patient and it’s been a difficult time for me in the outside. She’s been able to help me in our sessions, to put my emotional energy in the right places, brainstorm better solutions and to feel more confident in my future choices. I highly recommend Rachel as a therapist.
