Rachel Lauber

Welcome to the practice of Dr. Rachel Lauber, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience providing psychotherapy. My areas of specialization include treating adults with anxiety disorders, depression, maternal mental health issues, adjustment to parenthood, and relationship difficulties. I strive to create a collaborative and interactive therapeutic environment that emphasizes evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness, and Attachment-Based interventions.

I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their concerns and work towards creating long-lasting change. My training has focused on evidence-based techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-based strategies, to offer my clients the most effective treatments available. I am also certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy and Peaceful Parenting, with a specialization in helping women during the perinatal period (pregnancy and postpartum).

Services Offered

I offer a range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of my clients. My services include:

• Anxiety Disorders Treatment: I provide evidence-based treatments for a wide range of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and phobias.
• Depression Treatment: I offer individualized therapy for depression, addressing the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to depression.
• Maternal Mental Health: I specialize in helping women during the perinatal period (pregnancy and postpartum) who are experiencing mood disorders, anxiety, and adjustment difficulties.
• Adjustment to Parenthood: I provide support and guidance for new parents who are adjusting to the challenges of parenthood.
• Relationship Difficulties: I offer therapy for individuals and couples seeking to improve their relationships, communication, and conflict resolution skills.
• Parenting Support: I provide support and guidance for parents seeking to develop healthy, positive relationships with their children.

Treatment Approach

My treatment approach is collaborative, interactive, and empathic. I use evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based strategies, and Attachment-Based interventions to provide my clients with the most effective treatments available. I believe in the importance of interpersonal neurobiology and attachment, and my certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy and Peaceful Parenting reflects my commitment to these principles.

I provide a safe, nonjudgmental place for clients to explore their concerns, and I aim to provide concrete strategies and techniques to create long-lasting change. I work closely with my clients to develop individualized treatment plans that meet their unique needs and goals.
