Rachel Bar

Rachel Bar is a dedicated Marriage & Family Therapist with over 30 years of experience, specializing in guiding individuals, couples, and families through life's transitions and losses. Her work focuses on the profound impacts of relationship changes, job losses, lifestyle alterations, home separations, and even the loss of dreams or expectations. Rachel understands how often these losses are overlooked, leading to unrecognized anxiety, depression, or self-destructive behaviors. She fosters an environment where clients can explore their pain, frustration, and feelings of helplessness, believing that healing is not only possible but achievable. With her expertise in a diverse range of therapies—including Trauma-Focused, Attachment-based, and Emotionally Focused approaches—Rachel is committed to helping her clients transform their lives. She is a certified hypnotherapist and trained in EMDR and the Trauma Resiliency Model, equipping her with the necessary tools to address both big and small traumas effectively. As a former Clinical Director of SFVCC, she also brings a wealth of knowledge from supervising interns and facilitating workshops on topics like Couple's Relationships, Trauma, and Parenting. Rachel is passionate about supporting her clients on their journey toward healing, change, and renewed hope.
