Rachel Berger is a very patient and understanding person. I appreciate that I can tell anything that’s going on in my life and I can tell that she cares which makes me feel seen and heard. I also appreciate that she takes notes during the session because it’s beneficial and it has inspired me to have my journal on hand during our sessions so I can write my thoughts and feelings as we talk so I can easily articulate what I mean to say.

Working with Rachel has been a lovely experience.

Rachel is wonderful. Every time at the start of the session I think “I don’t have anything in particular to talk about today” and we would end up talking easily the whole time. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone seeking therapy! She made a huge difference for me during a stressful time of moving and getting married.
