Rachel Jedwab-Lugo, LMHC

I am a dedicated psychotherapist with over twenty years of experience in mental health across Europe and the United States. Originally from southern France, I began my career as a Clinical Psychologist and transitioned to the American landscape fifteen years ago, becoming a licensed mental health counselor in New York State. I specialize in supporting adults through complex life transitions, including trauma, depression, anxiety, and identity exploration. My work spans various settings—from outpatient clinics to recovery center and private practice—allowing me to develop a tailored approach for each individual. Grounded in psychodynamic theory, I also incorporate techniques from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy and Trauma-Informed Care. With a postgraduate degree in Art Therapy, I leverage creativity as a powerful tool for self-discovery and expression, enriching the therapeutic experience. In our sessions, you will find a blend of approachability and depth. My genuine empathy enables my clients to feel heard and understood, while my open-mindedness allows for curiosity and playfulness. Yet, I also provide the level of concentration and connection required for profound personal growth and self-exploration. Committed to empowering individuals, I strive to provide a transformative and deeply personal psychotherapeutic experience.
