Greetings! My name is Rachel Radin, and I am a licensed clinical health psychologist in the state of California who specializes in treating adults with anxiety, mood, and eating disorders. I hold a Masters and PhD in Clinical and Medical Psychology from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) in Bethesda, Maryland. I completed a Pre-doctoral Internship in Pediatric Psychology at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital. I developed expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy during my training at USUHS and throughout the DC/Metro Area. As a clinical health psychologist, I have a specialized interest in treating adults who suffer from weight-related eating concerns, such as binge eating and stress-related eating. During my clinical psychology internship at Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, I developed expertise in addressing health-related psychological concerns including diabetes management, obesity management, chronic health conditions, and developmental concerns. I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where I developed additional expertise in using mindfulness-based and motivational-interviewing based treatments for a variety of presenting concerns. At UCSF, I developed a brief intervention to reduce stress-related eating among adults using mindfulness and motivational-based approaches. I look forward to working with you and helping to guide you towards your best self!

Odelia Morovati
I am licensed in California with 15 years of professional work experience. I truly believe we all have the resources within us to grow and heal. However, there are times we become "stuck" in life and overcome with fear or other factors. I am passionate in working with adults in helping them recognize deeper/underlying issues or past traumatic experiences that can impair a person's function each day in various ways. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, and complex trauma (Ie physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, DV, life adjustments, grief/loss). I am passionate in using modalities beyond talk therapy, such as somatic work and EMDR, a research-based treatment that facilitates the brain's own capacity to heal. I love incorporating inner child work and expressive arts into our sessions as well. Additionally, I have an extensive background working with children and providing parenting support, especially for children who have experienced trauma or attachment injuries. I believe it is important to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable, relaxed and empowered to heal and become the best version of yourself. I don't believe in one cookie cutter approach and try to keep each session unique to your needs.
