Licensed Clinical Psychologist | Co-Owner & Director of Training and Outreach | Clinical Supervisor
Dr. Rachael Goren is a licensed clinical psychologist, co-owner, and Director of Training and Outreach at Learning Solutions, where she provides psychological and neuropsychological assessments primarily for adolescents and adults, clinical supervision, and professional development and training. She directs the doctoral training program and coordinates outreach and educational programming, providing training both at Learning Solutions and for outside organizations.
Rachael’s approach brings together her backgrounds in psychology, public health, and education, with attention to each person’s development, identity, and sociocultural context. She works collaboratively with clients to make evaluations informative and responsive to their needs. Her goal is to help individuals better understand themselves and provide practical recommendations that guide treatment, interventions, accommodations, and personal growth.
Her clinical experience includes working with college students and individuals navigating ADHD, giftedness and twice-exceptionality, LGBTQ+ identities and gender diversity, eating disorders, trauma, mood concerns, emotion dysregulation, and self-harm. She also has experience supporting individuals around women’s health, infertility, pregnancy, transitions into parenthood, and spiritual trauma. Before her current role, she maintained a private practice providing psychotherapy and psychological and neuropsychological assessments.
Rachael has led hundreds of presentations and trainings for students, families, educators, health professionals, and mental health clinicians. Her topics span mental health, identity, sexuality, gender, trauma, substance use, sexual violence, stress, eating disorders, and yoga. She has also appeared on podcasts, written guest articles, and served as a guest lecturer. As a visiting assistant professor at Mount Holyoke College, she taught abnormal psychology and a seminar on body image and identity.
Rachael earned a B.A. in Near Eastern and Judaic Studies and Women’s Studies from Brandeis University, an M.P.H. from UMass Amherst, and a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University New England. Her clinical training included Hampshire College, UMass Amherst, Westfield State University, and Learning Solutions. She has led psychoeducational and psychotherapy groups in schools, hospital-based programs, college counseling centers, faith-based organizations, and nonprofit organizations. Before becoming a psychologist, she worked as a Jewish educator and yoga instructor, directed youth and community programs, and coordinated nonprofit education and outreach.
Outside of Learning Solutions, Rachael runs a small family art business and enjoys spending time with her wife, their two children, and their Bernedoodle, who thinks he is human.
