I'm Rachel Kaplan, M.A., M.F.T, a licensed psychotherapist practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost two decades. Helping people truly heal is my calling, and I’m deeply grateful you found me.
I have been studying the healing path since I was 14 when my innocence was annihilated by my first love taking his life. By 16, I was relentlessly focused on finding healing for myself and eventually for others as well. This pursuit led me on an international lifelong immersion in the world’s healing technologies. I’ve lived in Nepal and India, and as an undergraduate, I studied Eastern religions and spirituality with a focus on yoga and mindfulness meditation. In grad school, I studied Western psychology methodologies and received my Master’s in Counseling Psychology in 2007.
In my therapy practice and educational content as a podcast creator, workshop instructor, and leader in the global conversation about mental health and wellness, I blend ancient wisdom from Eastern practices with cutting-edge Western psych techniques.
What’s most amazing FOR YOU is that through my own lifelong journey, I have discovered the single most necessary tenet of emotional healing -- and it's no more complicated than taking a poop.
I can teach you this life-changing practice so you, too, can enjoy true well-being and emotional resilience: the New Happy.
