I am accepting clients
Rachel Staley, AMFT, is a holistic psychotherapist and digital nomad. While living and traveling around the world, she works with adults, adolescents/teens, and couples to support their growth, well-being, and relationships. Her specialties include childhood healing/trauma, identity work, grief, relationship issues, intergenerational healing, unconventional lifestyles, and mind-body wellness.
Rachel considers herself an ally, dedicated to learning and building trust with clients from LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other marginalized communities.
Rachel has a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego, as well as a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Temple University. After working in clinical research and beginning her own journey of self-exploration, she discovered her passion for helping others heal and lead happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.
Rachel is a collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed therapist who empowers her clients to create safety in their mind, body, and soul by building self-compassion and self-trust. She believes in an individual’s inherent knowledge and resiliency, pulling from Narrative Therapy practices that teach us to rewrite the narratives that no longer serve us.
She invites clients to identify the effects of oppression and explore their responses and resources in the face of these challenges. She also encourages examining societal pressures and finding ways that authenticity and nonconformity can transform pressure into intention. Rachel adapts her style of therapy for each individual, using supplemental therapies such as Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques.
“Healing comes when we meet our wounded places with compassion.”
