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 just 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 all the information you need to make an informed decision. Feel free to reach out with any questions and I look forward to hearing from you.
I believe the goal of therapy is to enhance connection in your life. Together, we will help you build more fulfilling relationships to others, to your community, and to 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 individualized treatment that addresses your specific needs, history, and preferences and is designed to meet your goals.
​
​
SERVICES
I offer individual therapy, couples therapy, group therapy and psychological assessment services for adolescent and adult clients. I also offer consultation and supervision for other professionals, as well as workshops for clients and professionals. Services are offered online (telehealth) or in-person in east Toronto.
Prior to beginning treatment, I offer a free initial phone call to assess whether we would be a good match where we would discuss your reasons for reaching out, provide you with some basic information about how I work, and answer any questions you have.
