CARE PHILOSOPHY
Collaborative. And practical with it.
Collaborative and practical in equal measure. Rachel is grounded in CBT, DBT, ERP and motivational interviewing while keeping a person-centered mindset, and she describes believing deeply in collaboration — working together to identify goals, build skills, and create meaningful, sustainable change rather than running a protocol.
ABOUT RACHEL
Clarity, and confidence
Rachel Nash has worked in the mental health field for twenty years and has been licensed in Pennsylvania since 2008.
She earned her master’s degree in counseling psychology from Boston College and holds the Masters Addiction Counselor certification, which supports her work with clients in early and sustained recovery — a national credential requiring supervised addiction-specific experience and examination, rather than a general license with an interest attached.
As a clinician she is committed to helping adults navigate their thoughts, feelings, emotions, and beliefs with greater clarity and confidence. Her work is grounded in the evidence-based techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, exposure and response prevention, and motivational interviewing, approached with a person-centered mindset throughout.
Rachel believes deeply in collaboration — working together with clients to identify goals, build skills, and create meaningful, sustainable change. Whether someone needs a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, or a steady presence to lean on, she aims to offer support, compassion, and practical tools.
Outside of work she enjoys reading, spending time outdoors, exploring new places, and being with friends and family — experiences she describes as keeping her grounded, curious, and connected. She sees clients at the South Hills office and by telehealth across Pennsylvania.

Anxiety
When Your Whole Life Runs on Someone Else’s Schedule
Becoming a parent can rewrite your schedule, your identity, and your sense of control — and for many people it shows up as anxiety and overwhelm. Therapy helps you understand what’s driving it, set it down, and get yourself back.
