The therapeutic relationship can be powerful and transformative in times of both difficulty and ease. In my role as therapist, I seek to learn about your life experiences, values and beliefs. From there we form an alliance in which we look at your life through a lens of compassion and non-judgment. We focus on what empowers you while working to discover what’s holding you back. My style is authentic, warm, and conversational.
I’ve always been interested in people’s stories and the resilience of the human spirit. After years of working in unscripted television, I chose to follow my heart and redirect my energy toward becoming a therapist. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and received training at Southern California Counseling Center (SCCC). My practice employs a collaborative approach and trauma-informed modalities such as EMDR.

Rachel N. Feldman, M.A. AMFT
Supervised by Larry Zucker, LCSW
My clients typically orient as: Non-monogamous/Polyamorous, Anti-capitalist, Kink/Fetish, Feminist, and Queer/Trans. Normativity can be a tyrannical agent of unhappiness when our chosen expressions of intimacy or preferred embodiments of identity deviate from conventional, cultural scripts. My therapeutic approach does not privilege traditional ways of romantic coupling, nor is it prescriptive about how you ought to experience being in the world. Choosing to live along the fringes of normativity is not an easy choice; but it can be a worthy choice. It can be fulfilling and purposeful, and yet accompanied by high personal costs that may require help.
Upon commencing a Master’s program in Human Rights at Columbia University, I obtained an M.A in Marriage & Family Therapy, with the idea that the optimal way to address the existential challenges so particular to our current social context lies in our ability to address the ways we internalize broader social discourse, at the local level of individual experience.
I am very open-minded and create a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment that aims to be curious rather than assessment oriented. While it is my agenda to challenge ideas in an effort to facilitate conversation that may lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful existence for my clients, I do not come into session with foregone conclusions about what is best.
