Welcome. You are safe here.

If you are navigating stress, anxiety, or trauma, you're in the right place. As a practicing psychotherapist for nearly 30 years, I have found that the key to healing is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can show up authentically. In our work together, we might scream, curse, cry, and laugh, but most importantly, we're going to heal.

I often say that, in our sessions, I am a GPS, but you're the one driving the car. I know that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to support and facilitate, helping you own and recognize your strengths and embody your most empowered self.

Get Started

rachel willyung therapy, human and holistic therapy

Hi, I'm Rachel!

My journey into becoming a psychotherapist began early. Throughout my childhood and adolescence, I was given the opportunity to experience individual, family, and group therapy. For me, therapy was a safe place to tell my story, and I knew that one day I wanted to provide that for others too.

My approach is holistic and human. From a clinical standpoint, I utilize aspects of several modalities including but not limited to: Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Systematic Desensitization, Insight Oriented Therapy, and Solutions Focused Therapy. Being trained in the generalist perspective, I learned early on that life does not exist in a vacuum. Our work together looks beyond the psychological at the whole picture - your life at work, at home, and beyond.

What Clients Say

"I have shared with more than one person that, in many ways, Rachel saved my life. Losing a child brings with it insurmountable grief. From the start, there was a sense of comfort, understanding, and extraordinary expertise; Rachel helped me find strategies to navigate the often unbearable periods of sadness. She provided me with a safe place to begin and continue healing."

About Our Work Together

Our first session is all about getting to know each other. It’s a conversation—question and answer on both sides. If you have questions for me, don’t hesitate to ask—I’ll answer as fully and honestly as I can.

At the end of the session, I won’t ask if you want to reschedule right away. I ask that you take at least 48 hours to reflect (unless you're in acute crisis). The therapeutic relationship is the most important part of this work, and it’s essential that you feel a connection and see the potential for trust between us. If you’d like to continue, you’re welcome to call me after that reflection period.

For individual therapy sessions (self-pay):

Rates range from $100–$160, depending on your financial situation.

If you're using out-of-network insurance benefits:

$150 for a 45-minute session

$160 for a 55-minute session

For family therapy sessions:

$200 for a 50-minute session

Payment is due at the start of each session. I accept cash, check, or credit card via Ivy Pay, a secure payment system that sends a text prompt before your appointment.

I am an out-of-network provider. If you’d like to use your out-of-network mental health benefits, please call your insurance company in advance to ask:

What’s my deductible?
What’s my co-insurance rate after the deductible is met?

You’ll pay me directly at the time of the session. I submit claims electronically on your behalf as a courtesy. Once your deductible is met, your insurance company will reimburse you directly.

It’s very important that you understand your benefits before we begin. I don’t want us to start meaningful work together only to find out later that it’s not financially sustainable for you.
