Rachel Blau, Mental Health Counselor - Limited Permit, P128408 is practicing under the supervision of Lisa Siclari (New York, LMHC, 011138) at Humantold Psychotherapy.

Please, note: A clinician listed as being “clinically supervised” is completing clinical hours toward their licensure. They have one or more fully licensed clinical supervisors that often have special training. They consult with their supervisor(s) on all of their cases.

My life philosophy encompasses the principal that we are given one life to live, and with that life, I aim to not only be my own best friend, but also find joy in all the good, the bad, and the ugly. In therapy, I encourage my client's to gently go toward and befriend their emotions. In a fast-paced and at times self-critical world, my treatment and life philosophy prioritizes offering oneself grace and compassion while slowing down and embracing curiosity and fun.

It is OKAY to be hesitant! And very normal. Approach this journey with curiosity and compassion. Therapy can mean different things for different people. This is your choice and with that you can select your own intention for beginning. I encourage allowing yourself to take and celebrate baby steps while also finding your voice for establishing and advocating for your needs in the therapeutic room.

Much of my passion for working with youth stems from my previous work as a special education teacher. There I supported children and families in identifying and implementing accommodations, conducted assessments, provided counsel, and broadened my understanding of child development and behavioral needs.
