Rachel Harlich, LCSW

I work with expansive individuals and couples who are tired of being pathologized or having to educate their providers. I specialize in working with all kinds of people on the margins: LGBTQIA+ folks, polyamory/non-monogamy and kink/BDSM-involved clients, sex workers, fat people, and folks impacted by disability, chronic illness and pain, as well as complex trauma and attachment wounding survivors. It's possible to build safety, presence, pleasure, and joy within yourself and your partnerships. Our sessions together will feature warmth, humor, and empathy.

I specialize in somatic (body-focused), parts-work, emotion-focused, and relational approaches to therapy. Therapy will be customized to you, your need, and preferred way of working. My practice is grounded in principles of anti-oppression, non-judgment, harm reduction, as well as sex-positivity, body neutrality, and pleasure-centered work.

I'm so glad you're here, you've taken a wonderful first step on your healing path. I'm honored to walk alongside my clients in their journeys and firmly believe that clients are experts in their own experiences and have the inherent resources to heal within themselves (no matter how challenging that is to feel). I look forward to hearing from you.
