About Rachel L. Barr
I have been working as a therapist with adults, teens, families, and couples for the past seven years. Previous to my work as a therapist, I was a high school history and algebra teacher with at-risk youth. During my time as a teacher, I enjoyed building individual relationships with my students and developed the desire to work therapeutically with this age group.
I graduated from Antioch University in Los Angeles with a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology, and a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist by the state of California, and a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.
My clinical experience is wide ranged. I have a private practice in Silver Lake, where I provide adult, adolescent, couples, and family psychotherapy. I provide supervision for new therapists at Phillips Graduate Institute. I also work in the community as an advocate for mental health services in public schools. I provide lectures and seminars to students and parents. And I provide supervision and consultation in the Early Mental Health Initiative (EMHI) in the Alhambra Unified School District.
