Rachel Samet

Rachel Samet

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Maybe you've been carrying this longer than you'd like to admit. Anxiety that won't

settle, patterns that keep repeating, or a quiet sense of feeling disconnected from

yourself or your relationships. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional

difficulties, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions. I believe you are more

than the challenges that bring you to therapy, and I aim to understand you as a whole

person, not just your symptoms. I use a blend of IFS, psychodynamic therapy, CBT,

mindfulness, and somatic approaches to support growth and meaningful change.
