Rachel W. Friendly, Ph.D.

Are you ready to see your life change for the better?

Ready to understand yourself better, set more effective boundaries with others, find your voice, and claim your power? 

Many people who contact me are women juggling too much, grad students hitting a wall, or LGBTQ+ folks who've had one too many therapists who didn't get it. If that sounds like you, I am so glad you are here!

If you are interested in scheduling an appointment with me or finding out more about my services, please leave a message in the contact form and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I know reaching out can feel like the hardest step. I read every inquiry myself and generally respond within 2 business days.

Please note, email and voicemail are not secure forms of communication so please do not leave any clinically sensitive information via these means. Submitting this form does not create a therapist-client relationship.

Additionally, email and voicemail will not be continuously monitored and should not be used for emergency situations. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call  9-1-1, visit or call your local crisis center, or visit your local emergency room.

Therapy is available in person in Fairfax County (Springfield, VA) or via secure telehealth platform for clients located anywhere in Virginia, Washington DC, Massachusetts, and California.
