Sliding Scale
Rachel (they/them) is an empathetic counsellor who understands what it feels like to not feel comfortable in your own skin. Originally from India, Rachel has overcome the cultural stigma associated with mental health common in South Asian communities. They specialize in working with clients from the LGBTQ2IA+ community, and their goal is to facilitate a safe space for those who have never truly felt understood. Their clinic also provides trauma-informed yoga sessions.
