My Approach to Therapy

If you're feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, disconnected from yourself, or overwhelmed by the weight of addiction, anxiety, or trauma  you're not beyond help. You're exactly who I'm here for. Life doesn't come with a manual for navigating recovery, grief, or the lingering effects of past experiences, and trying to figure it all out alone is exhausting. There's another way forward, and you don't have to find it by yourself. I'm David Rachman, LMSW, and I specialize in addiction recovery, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and grief. What sets my approach apart is the combination of backgrounds I bring to the room  degrees in both Social Work and Neuroscience give me a grounded, deeply human perspective that bridges brain science with genuine care for your lived experience. I work integratively, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic practices, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to get beneath the surface of what's keeping you stuck and build a path forward that actually fits your life. This isn't a one-size-fits-all process. We'll explore the "why" behind your patterns together  with curiosity, not judgment  and develop a recovery and healing plan that feels authentic and sustainable for you specifically. I've worked with individuals from all walks of life, including those navigating the legal system, conquering long-term recovery, and processing deep or complicated grief. Wherever you're coming from, you'll be met exactly where you are. Healing is possible. And it starts with one honest conversation.

My Practice & Services

I work with individuals navigating addiction and substance use recovery, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, grief, and major life transitions.
