Rachel Khan-McCroy, LCSW

Rachel Khan-McCroy is a licensed clinical social worker offering services to adult residents in New York and New Jersey. She has a vast array of clinical interests; however, her specializations are trauma and abuse, addiction, post-partum issues and mood disorders.  In her practice, her philosophy of care is that all people are important, and no feelings are wrong. Rachel’s goal as a clinician is to be a source of support and a place where individuals can feel secure and safe to discuss feelings. She believes that everyone is capable and able to achieve their goals of interpersonal growth through a strength–based approach. She incorporates elements of mindfulness, CBT and conflict resolution. 

Rachel’s interest in mental and behavioral healthcare stems from personal experiences. Rachel had a relative who suffered from a TBI and developmental issues. As a teenager, a friend of hers committed suicide and another friend was murdered by her father in a domestic violence incident. Through these experiences, she realized that access to mental health care can be extremely difficult to find and due to this wanted to become a clinician to help. She believes that if more people felt heard and understood then there would be less violence and suicide, and overall, more life satisfaction. 

Rachel enjoys writing, is one of five children, and has been a vegetarian since she was 11 years old.
