Rae Magnani, LCPC

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and work with adults and adolescents with goals like: managing mental health conditions and building coping skills for issues like anxiety/panic and depression/mood disorders, decreasing harmful behaviors, processing trauma, finding balance, changing habits, and identifying meaning in their lives.

I believe an important foundation of my work is to know the uniqueness and strengths that exist within every person I work with. Our work together should be individualized and collaborative. And as in any relationship, the fit does matter and our dynamic needs to be right for you.

Trusting and connected relationships with my clients are integral to me. What you can expect from me is a caring, non-judgmental, casual but professional realness, and likely some quirky humor. Despite the serious nature of what we may be working through, or perhaps because of it, I also believe there needs to be space for lightness, fun, creativity, and curiosity.

I also focus on and help you become more aware of your body and what it is holding on to and needing. Your body knows how to resolve some of what you hold; we will work together to figure out ways to allow it. Research has shown how body focused strategies can provide more benefits along with psychotherapy, than talk therapies alone. These interventions focus on body, movement, physiology, exercise, breath, our organs and nervous system, and this is something we can incorporate into our work together. If you have been in traditional thought based and talk therapy before, our sessions will feel different. And it might just be that extra piece you’ve been searching for.

What you can expect from me is a caring, non-judgmental, casual but professional realness, and likely some quirky humor. Despite the serious nature of what we may be working through, or perhaps because of it, I also believe there needs to be space for lightness, fun, creativity, and above all curiosity. If I feel like a good match for you, please reach out.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this; what brought you to this page (whether I am a match for you or not) is your strength, the inclination to invest in yourself, and be hopeful. I hope you can take a moment to acknowledge this; I do.
