RACHEL GAUL’S APPROACH TO THERAPY
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and developmentally perceptive, always aiming to create a safe and supportive space for children and adolescents to express themselves and grow.
As a clinician, I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help children build emotional regulation skills, increase self-awareness, and manage anxiety, depression, and other challenges. I also incorporate elements of play therapy, understanding that play is vital for children and serves as a method for learning about themselves and the world around them.
My goal is to provide children with a safe and supportive space to foster their growth and healing!
