About
Rachel Berger specializes in LGBTQ issues.
I am a LPC-Intern supervised by Feleshia Porter, LPC-S. My goal as a counselor is to provide a supportive and accepting environment. Empathy is an important aspect of therapy. Each person is unique in their struggles. I have worked with clients with a variety of struggles, such as: self-harm, depression, anxiety, relationships, chronic pain, body focused repetitive behaviors, gender identity, self-esteem, and developmental and learning disabilities.
