RACHAEL ALBA LMHC, PMH-C
certified perinatal mental health therapist, infertility therapist, & SOMATIC trauma therapist
Can you remember a time when you felt grounded and hopeful in your day-to-day life?
Maybe that feels like a distant memory. Do you wish you had the tools to change that?
You’ve come to the right place!
I’m a licensed therapist serving Washington State and Rhode Island. I help women who may feel unseen, overwhelmed, or stuck. Together, we gently move you out of a place of hopelessness into a place of greater health. I help you find confidence, clarity, and peace by equipping you with the tools you need to develop a better relationship with yourself and others and grieve the losses that life presents.
Many solutions for trauma, anxiety, and loss are generalized, one-size-fits-all models that leave you feeling uncertain about your progress. I provide holistic care that prioritizes your particular situation as the foundation for our work together. I offer a compassionate holding place for you to be seen and heard. From there, we craft a plan that is goal specific and actively propels you toward the life you desire.
Throughout our work together, we examine the belief systems, behaviors, or thought patterns that may be holding you back. Then, we identify specific skills that will empower you and provide you with measurable outcomes in changing your current reality. Over time, you’ll learn how to better navigate difficult experiences and gain tools that will help you heal and thrive in your life.
I AM DEDICATED TO HELPING PEOPLE HEAL FROM PAIN
My specific training in reproductive and trauma therapy means I have the expertise you need when navigating struggles like infertility, perinatal mood concerns, or complex trauma. While my credentials are important, I know that you also want to find someone to work with who really “gets” you; someone who uniquely understands your pain.
I understand. I know what it means to navigate overwhelming grief, heartache, and fear. Because of that understanding, along with a lifelong curiosity about the human experience, I’ve devoted my career to guiding women out of pain and into a life that is purposeful and aligned with their desires. So, when we work together, you won’t just get a therapist who is technically trained but also one who truly understands and is committed to your care and growth.
I believe that we all possess innate strength and goodness and that by increasing self-compassion and understanding, we are better positioned to do the courageous work of growing through our challenges. I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to choose growth through the process of therapy. I can assure you, it will be well worth it.
So, take the first step and schedule a free consultation today!
