Rachael Gerdis, MAS-MFT, LAMFT-T

Rachael is a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LAMFT-T) who holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master of Advanced Studies in Marriage and Family Therapy. She works from a systemic perspective, helping clients understand how relational patterns and life experiences influence their current challenges.

Rachael primarily works with couples and individuals, and also supports families, adolescents, and children. Her areas of focus include relationship concerns, communication difficulties, premarital counseling, trauma, life transitions, and parent training. She approaches her work through a trauma-informed framework, recognizing the impact past experiences can have on present relationships, emotions, and behaviors.

Rachael is especially passionate about working with couples and supporting clients as they heal from past experiences that continue to impact their relationships. She integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method in her work with couples, and often incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS) with individuals. While these are her primary modalities, she uses an integrative approach tailored to each client’s unique needs.

Rachael strives to create a supportive environment where clients feel understood and genuinely cared for. She believes meaningful change is possible when clients are ready for growth, and she honors the courage it takes to begin therapy. Sessions move at a pace that feels safe and respectful, allowing space for lasting, meaningful progress
