Getting to know Rachelle H. Henriquez-Gomez
Is your inner critic really loud, having trouble coping with stress, seeking life balance and a deeper connection to your authentic self? Well I am here to help! Hello there future client! Lovely to meet you! My name is Rachelle (pronounced rey-chuhl).
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a specialization in Art Therapy, a Holistic Practitioner, bilingual English/Spanish speaking, a first gen Dominican-American, and former New Yorker living in SoCal. I specialize in supporting BIPOC experiencing chronic mental health issues define themselves as individuals and not by any trauma they may have experienced.
In addition to applying a trauma-informed lens, psychology, and art, I integrate holistic approaches like Reiki, meditation, mindfulness, somatic movements, and sound therapy to create unique treatment interventions for my clients.
I know that starting therapy can feel scary. Especially when you have been labeled as "the problem", think you are not good enough, or have been conditioned to suppress your emotions. This is why developing trust in the first stage of treatment is of the utmost importance to me. I apply a compassionate and non-judgmental stance to help my clients feel safe when sharing their stories and starting their therapeutic journey.
Think we could be a good fit? Go ahead and schedule your first session. Let's work together to help you connect with your authentic self and improve your mental health! Looking forward to hearing from you! Please note - I am not a good fit for clients interested in couples therapy, clients experiencing thoughts of suicide/death/dying with or without a plan, clients engaging in self-harm, clients who have been hospitalized for psychiatric reasons at anytime in the past 12 months, clients needing support with substance use, and/or children aged 8 and under.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first sessions we will complete an assessment. This is where we will talk about it all! Including what brought you into therapy, past life experiences, family dynamics, and even your hopes for the future.
After this, we will collaborate to create goals for therapy. A short term goal is a reminder that improving your mental health is developed through intentional + weekly devoted time to you. This is where you will plant the seeds for your healing process.
After this step, we will follow these stages - first stage of therapy: learning coping skills, second stage: processing and applying what works for you, third/final stage: linking you with resources and planning for your graduation from therapy!
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My biggest strength is helping my clients shift their perspectives about themselves and reconnect with things that bring them joy. As a therapist, my goal is to help my clients make lasting changes, facilitate self-healing, and develop self-compassion. I am passionate about empowering BIPOC, including adults, teens, and children aged 9 and above to do just that. I provide my clients with unique tools to replace maladaptive coping mechanisms with positive coping skills that may serve in connecting with their highest + best self.
I am best positioned to serve English and Spanish speaking clients who are having difficulty coping with symptoms/behaviors of depression/anxiety/post-traumatic stress, low self-esteem, grief/loss, struggling with life transitions, experiencing chronic pain, fertility and reproductive issues, and survivors of abuse/trauma. This includes those looking for individual therapy age 9-12, teens, and adults age 18-64.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
