RACHEL LIEBMAN, PHD
CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
Welcome
I'm glad you're here. Whether or not you end up reaching out, you've already taken an important first step by visiting this site. Assessing fit with your therapist is one of the most important aspects of your therapy experience. I hope that you will find the information you need to make an informed decision. Feel free to get in touch with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.
I believe the goal of therapy is to enhance connection in your life. My goal is to help you build fulfilling relationships with others, with your community, and with yourself.
MY APPROACH
If your goal is to understand, appreciate, and break old patterns that are standing in your way, I am here to help you in that process. I use an integrative, client-centered approach drawn from cognitive-behavioural, emotion-focused, and psychodynamic therapies.
​
My treatment approach is individualized, collaborative, and grounded in science. We will work together to create an customized treatment that addresses your specific needs, history, goals, and preferences.
​
​
SERVICES
I offer individual therapy, couples therapy, group therapy and psychological assessment services for adolescents and adults. I also offer consultation and supervision for other professionals, as well as training workshops. Services are offered online (telehealth) or in-person in downtown Toronto.
Prior to beginning treatment, I offer a free initial consultation where we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, provide you with some basic information about how I work, and answer any questions.
