Welcome
I’m Rachel Goldberg, LMFT, PMH-C

Let me begin by sharing that I have always been drawn to finding ways to lift others up. Professionally, my journey of healing others began by teaching fitness classes at UCLA during my undergraduate years (I used to love teaching step classes, which sadly has gone out of style). This led to years of working as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, transforming people from the outside in. I found the effects of fitness to be powerful, not just for the body, but for the psyche as well. This, in turn, led me to take another avenue of healing: psychotherapy.

I studied psychology at UCLA while overseeing an eating disorder lab that focused on better understanding ways to treat different types of body image issues and disordered eating habits. From there, I earned my Master’s Degree at USC and began practicing psychotherapy. I took my practice to NYC for a decade, gaining experience in many areas, including working with those facing infertility, postpartum depression, eating disorders, and relationship issues, to name a few. Covid brought me back to my roots in CA, where I continue to heal individuals, now primarily from the inside out.

Working to help people achieve a better version of themselves, both physically and mentally, and having worked on two coasts with a myriad of different types of people, I have learned that every person requires a unique and personal experience to transform. No one way, theory, or coping skill works best for everyone. My job as a therapist is to work collaboratively with you to find the path or treatment that makes the most sense and then walk that journey with you.

A few facts about me. I am a wife and a mother to two children. I am passionate about fitness and have always dedicated myself to it. I am a writer and have been featured in multiple magazines. I enjoy finance-related news and once ran my own stock trading education service. I also worked as a sign language interpreter throughout college. Finally, I love learning and continually challenging myself in ways that help me to be a better person as well as a clinician.
