Rachel Cole was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. She has always had a passion for helping others and a curiosity in understanding human behavior.
She attended the University of Wisconsin, Madison for undergrad and went back to get her Masters in Social Work from UCLA.
Rachel worked for the LA County Department of Mental Health for 10 years as a clinician and then a clinical supervisor.
While working at the county, she completed an additional 3 year certification in Somatic Experiencing, a mind-body way to heal trauma and began a private practice specializing in this area.
She has worked as a psychotherapist for the past 15 years and feels so grateful to do this work. A couple of years ago she discovered Mercier Therapy and was called to expand her practice to include this amazing work helping women reconnect with their bodies and heal.
She currently works in Hermosa Beach, CA and is a mom to her beautiful 6 year old daughter Amalia.
