About Rachel Kornetsky
Something brought you here. Maybe you're tired. Maybe you've been holding it together for so long that you're not even sure what "not holding it together" would feel like. Maybe you just know something needs to change, but you can't quite name it yet.
That's okay. You don't have to have it figured out to start.
Rachel works with children, teens, and adults who are navigating big emotions, life transitions, and the quiet but exhausting work of trying to understand themselves. She shows up warm, curious, and genuinely interested in you — not just the problem you walked in with, but the whole person behind it.
A lot of Rachel's work lives in the tender places — attachment wounds, people-pleasing, shame, self-worth, and identity. The patterns that developed for a reason, even if they're not serving you anymore. She also works with OCD and offers Brainspotting, a gentle but powerful approach that helps heal what words sometimes can't fully reach.
Rachel doesn't believe in fixing people, because she doesn't believe people are broken. What she does believe is that you already hold more than you think you do — and that the right space can help you access it. Therapy with Rachel is collaborative and unhurried. You're the expert on your own life. She's just here to help you hear yourself more clearly.
Her hope is that you leave sessions feeling more at home in yourself. More compassionate toward the parts of you that have been working so hard. More able to live in a way that actually feels like yours.
If you're looking for a space where all of you is welcome — the messy, the tender, the still-figuring-it-out — Rachel would love to be part of that.
