Warm, collaborative therapy with room to be fully yourself.
Rachel Ratafia-Levine, LPC, NCC
Licensed in Virginia
With over 16 years of experience as a professional school counselor and private therapist, Rachel strives to create a calm, attuned, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space where clients can explore vulnerable experiences at their own pace.
Her approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment-based frameworks.
Sessions are collaborative and structured, balancing insight-oriented work with skill-building to support lasting change. Therapy is tailored to each client, with a focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, increasing emotional awareness, and building practical tools.

Therapy that balances understanding with forward movement
Sessions may involve identifying recurring patterns, making space for difficult emotions, clarifying values, practicing new ways of communicating, and building greater flexibility in how you respond to stress.
The goal is not simply to talk about what is difficult, but to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and create changes that feel sustainable outside the therapy room.
