My Story: 26 Years of Helping Clients Thrive


For over 26 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals and couples transform their lives, one session at a time. My journey has been shaped by training with some of the most renowned leaders in the field, and I bring that expertise to every client I work with.

I believe in the power of therapy to create meaningful change—whether it’s building stronger relationships, overcoming anxiety, or finding clarity in life’s challenges. My clients mean the world to me, and I’m committed to providing compassionate, results-driven care tailored to their unique needs.

About Rachel Fleischman, LCSW

Discovering My Path to Helping Others
From a young age, I’ve been drawn to understanding and supporting people in their struggles. Friends and family often turned to me when they needed someone to truly “get” them. This sparked my lifelong passion for learning about the human experience—how we process emotions, navigate adversity, and ultimately, thrive.

Over the years, I’ve immersed myself in studying relationships, neuropsychology, brain science, resilience, and how race and identity shape our lives. My commitment to continuous learning ensures that I bring the most effective tools and understanding to every client I work with.

Who I Work With

Half of my practice is devoted to couples, helping them build trust, improve communication, and rediscover connection. The other half is dedicated to individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and major life transitions.

I also lead transformative workshops and retreats, offering participants a chance to explore personal growth in a dynamic, supportive setting. You can learn more about my upcoming events here.
