She is excellent in every respect. Definitely would recommend her to all. She is the consummate professional. *Invalid Date via Direct* --- **John D\.** - 5/5 > Thanks to her help, I have resolved many issues I have struggled with for many many years. She is compassionate and empathic and all of the women in the office are so incredibly warm and friendly! I was so nervous the first time walking through the doors, and the entire office environment felt safe, warm, in addition to being a very classy office, it calmed me before even meeting her. *5/11/2016 via Direct* --- **Jay V\.** - 5/5 > Talking with Rachel McDermott is like talking to your best friend who happens to be ludicrously intelligent, knowledgeable, with a wealth of experience in the field. *1/7/2016 via Direct* --- **Kat M\.** - 5/5 > I am so pleased to have found the perfect therapist for me! I was so nervous before my first meeting, but they made me feel so completely safe and comfortable instantly! I was not at all judged and felt so comfortable, I held absolutely nothing back! It was a huge release and I am looking forward to my next meeting! *10/7/2015 via Direct* --- **sean\.stehelin** - 5/5 > Keep up the great work. We need you! *Invalid Date via Direct* --- **Austin D\.** - 5/5 > Excellent service all around.. Very professional office with genuinely caring staff that make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in! *7/12/2013 via Direct* --- **Carol H\.** - 5/5 > I would very much recommend this therapist to anybody who is anxious and / or depressed. I learned very particular things I can do when I am feeling down or just stressed out, and THEY REALLY WORK! It gets me out of that negative state mind, and feeling more positive, calm & relaxed! I didn't just sit and talk about my problems, like I have done in previous therapy with other therapists. I learned how to become "mindful" along with other specific tools to practice when overwhelming emotions hit me. IT REALLY WORKS!!! I don't need to go to therapy anymore, (I only needed a few sessions to learn the skills) but would absolutely return to this therapist if I ever needed help again (I would not go and see any other therapist again, EVER!) *Invalid Date via Direct* --- **799heca** - 5/5 > I really appreciate all of your help! You were very honest, which I did not always take well, and often became angry and defensive. I didn't know it at the time, but looking back on it now, I am really grateful for EVERYTHING you did to help us! I am so glad we stuck through it! Thank you so very much for helping my husband and I with our chaotic blended family!!! We are FINALLY on the same page!!! *9/11/2013 via Direct* --- **ccyou6** - 5/5 > I found Rachel so personable, warm and friendly, I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing counseling! *Invalid Date via Direct* --- **gdm1178** - 5/5 > I would recommend Rachel Mcdermott if you are SERIOUS about changing, stick with it and are willing to put in the effort needed to get results!!! She may not always tell you what you want to hear, but she sure does hit the nail on the head every time! The process was tough, for sure, but don't give up! If you stick with it and do the work, it will pay off in the long run! *9/9/2012 via Direct* --- **lasserina** - 5/5 > My husband and I attended couples therapy with Ms. McDermott for several months. It was only with the her help that we were able to get a realistic grasp on our relationship and parenting styles. Our marriage was on very rocky terrian before visiting her, so it was no surprise that we concluded that ending our marriage was in everyones best interest. What was surprising is that with her help we were able to get a divorce, divide property and amicably come up with a child coustody arrangement without the assistance of lawyers or even a mediator. Her innovative techniques that taught me and my ex-husband how to communicate with one another have been invaluable. Had we saught her help sooner, we may have been able to save our marriage. She was also very helpful with parenting issues and taught us how to coparent once we seperated. She will not be helpful if you want her to take sides, that is not what she does. If you really want honesty and are willing to do the work, she will earn every penny and then some. I very highly reccomend her for many reasons, but mostly for helping me get my life on track. *2/5/2012 via Direct* --- **cassiecamp** - 5/5 > I am sooooooo glad I went to see Ms. Mc Dermott! I have been SUFFERING with depression for so long, and she taught me so many tools! My depression is completely gone and I am no longer taking ANY medications! I only see her once a month to check in and she thinks I don't even need counseling any more, but I really like her and don't want to stop seeing her! The only negative about her is that she is not contracted with my insurance company, but I have a PPO so was able to use it, but it paid less than it would have had she been on my plan. I didn't deduct a star for that because she is so good, she is worth paying a little bit more for! (I think she is so good she doesn't need to be on any insurance contracts) *Invalid Date via Direct* --- **thankful101** - 5/5 > Marital counseling that really works! Our marriage improved after the very first session! *Invalid Date via Direct* --- **crh4321** - 5/5 > Definitely make an appointment! Helped so much! *Invalid Date via Direct* --- **1proudmommyof4** - 5/5 > My Daughter and I started seeing Rachel McDermott LMFT Last summer. She is a wonderful therapist to deal with. She is everything you would want in a family counselor. She takes the time to listen and understand your situation. She takes what she does very seriously and is there to help you through the situation that you come to her with, the way a counselor should be. My daughter really liked her and opened up to her quickly. The most important thing that I experienced was that she does what is best for the child in the situation. She is very professional and caring. I would recommend Rachel McDermott LMFT to family that has a child or children in need of help. She proved to be an awesome family counselor I would recommend this therapist to anyone. *8/7/2011 via Direct* --- **smnthew** - 5/5 > Professional and caring. Would recommend to friends. *Invalid Date via Direct* --- **brand44** - 5/5 > She's not one of those therapists that just sits there while you talk. She gave me real things to do that worked. She was by far the most helpful counselor I have been to. *11/6/2011 via Direct* --- **cecesparks** - 5/5 > SHE IS GREAT WITH KIDS. WARM AND FRIENDLY. *Invalid Date via Direct* --- **ssandyldavis** - 5/5 > Highly recommended! I found her very professional and extremely helpful. *Invalid Date via Direct* --- **gogo1498** - 1/5 > Very unprofessional. Would not recommend. *3/5/2011 via Direct* ## Additional Information ### Categories Educational Services, Counseling Services, Marriage & Family Therapists, Marriage, Family, Child & Individual Counselors, Mental Health Services, Psychotherapists ### Payment Methods all major credit cards, check, visa, mastercard, amex, discover, debit, insurance ### Contact - **Phone:** (559) 280-5756 --- *Data provided by Ezoma Business Citations*
