About: Rachel provides a safe and developmentally appropriate space for children and adolescents to process their thoughts, feelings, and difficult experiences. Rachel is an advocate for family inclusion in child treatment and creates an environment with family being an intricate part of the treatment process.

Treatment: At Mind Matters Therapy Services we use scientifically supported techniques to support children, adolescents, and their caregivers. Sessions occur individually and jointly with families as support systems.

Treatment Orientation: Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Trauma- Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Play Therapy, and Strength-Based Therapy.

My child isn’t my easel to paint on. Nor my diamond to polish. My child isn’t my trophy to share with the world. Nor my badge of honor. My child isn’t an idea, an expectation, or a fantasy. Nor my reflection or legacy. My child isn’t my puppet or a project. Nor my striving or desire. My child is here to fumble, stumble, try, and cry. Learn and mess up. Fail and try again. Listen to the beat of a drum faint to our adult ears and dance to a song that revels in freedom. My task is to step aside. Stay in infinite possibility. Heal my own wounds. Fill my own bucket and let my child fly.” — Shefali Tsabary
