Her therapeutic style is direct, compassionate, and fully engaged. She’s not afraid to dive deep and will walk alongside you through the messy, uncertain moments. While she specializes in body image concerns and disordered eating, Rachelle also supports individuals navigating mental illness, addiction, and behavioral health challenges.
A trusted voice in the field, Rachelle regularly teaches and speaks on topics such as body image, eating disorders, and mental health—bringing the same clarity, insight, and passion into each session she offers at Bergen Mental Health Group.
