Rachel Leghart

Hi there…welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Rachel Leghart, I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 16 years of experience working in many facets of mental health treatment, inclusive of inpatient care and outpatient therapy. After graduating in 2004 with my BA in Psychology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, I earned my MSW with a Direct Practice Specialization from The University of Pittsburgh in 2006. As a Licensed Psychotherapist, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice along with Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as an approach to treatment. I strongly believe that a positive rapport between therapist and client is an essential part of treatment and ensure respect and dignity for each client. Although I have experience working with various age groups and concerns, I prefer treating adults individually with: Mood Disorders Anxiety ADHD Relational Issues Stress-Management Self-esteem/Assertiveness Sexual/Gender Identity On a personal note, I’m married with two children and enjoy vacationing and spending time with friends and family. I truly enjoy the work that I do and look forward to working with you!
