Rachel Moghimi, LCSW
I have been licensed for over 10 years and have worked extensively with children and families. I worked for 4 years as a medical social worker in the ICU and helped families who were dealing with grief, loss and/or were having to make difficult decisions personally or for a family member. Currently I work individually with adults, couples, and adolescents. I specialize in working with parents who are struggling with young children and need support and guidance managing behaviors, anxiety and social difficulties. I am open to working with children, but since sessions are now virtual it would have to be the right fit and family.
