Rachel Gordon-Eldred, LMFT

Rachel Gordon-Eldred is a licensed therapist with 18 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people feel more regulated and centered so they can connect with themselves and others. She works to provide steady support and clear thinking during difficult moments, serving as a thoughtful sounding board as clients navigate challenges and pursue what she calls a Big Beautiful Life. Rachel holds an LMFT, which is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a credential that reflects specialized training in relational and family-focused care.

Her practice emphasizes trust and acceptance. Rachel creates a judgment-free environment where fears, sadness, ambivalence, and complicated emotions can be explored safely. She helps clients cultivate a wiser internal perspective and a deeper appreciation for the qualities that make each person unique, with a focus on strengthening emotional regulation and interpersonal connection.

Rachel is an advocate for neurodiverse individuals and has extensive experience supporting parents of vulnerable children who have faced loss, trauma, or who are coping with ADHD and Autism Spectrum. She also has clinical experience addressing the parenting needs of families navigating Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and does not endorse behavioral modification approaches such as ABA.

In addition to family and neurodiversity work, Rachel has specialized training in death and dying and supports loved ones through grief and end-of-life concerns. Her approach blends empathy with practical strategies to help clients manage stress, grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions.
