I am a New York State Licensed Psychologist in private practice in Rochester, NY. I provide individual, couples, and group psychotherapy. I strive to listen without judgment and aim to provide a warm, welcoming, and safe space for you to learn more effective ways to relate to yourself and others, and to build a life that promotes authenticity, confidence, and wellbeing.
It is a privilege to work with my patients, and I greatly value fostering a positive and secure therapeutic relationship, which I believe is the foundation for growth and change. I primarily practice from a relational and psychodynamic orientation, however, I also regularly incorporate techniques from Mindfulness-Based Approaches, Modern Psychoanalysis, Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).
I received my Ph. D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Rochester and my B.A. with highest honors in Psychology at Wesleyan University.

If I do not accept your insurance, your insurance company may provide out-of-network benefits such that you can receive reimbursement for psychotherapy from a licensed provider who is not in their network.
I am out-of-network for The Empire Plan (NYSHIP and United Healthcare) and Cigna, among others.
If you prefer not to use insurance, I also accept direct payment by cash, check, debit/credit/HSA card, and Venmo (@Rachael-Lax).
